    Synopsis

    Within the mystical spaces of a Judaic self-doubt, falls a dreaming painter from the fallen Polish city of Lodz. A million murdered spirits bring to him into a world of faded photographs and stone angels, whose petrified teardrops forever scar the widowed landscape of Poland.

    Framed by poet Robert Lax's sculptural texts, skin of the cit-y wanders through mills and factories surrendering to the elements, deteriorating in solidarity with the isolated Maritime cities that erode beside them.
