Ursula Ulmi

This short film, based on a folk tale from Papua New Guinea, retells the story of how reef fish got their beautiful colouring. Long ago the fish had transformed into humans and came onto land to celebrate and dance. Once the sun had set, they hurried back into the sea, leaving behind a big mess. Curious as to who had been occupying the village in their absence, the villagers of one island plan to find out who those uninvited visitors were. What they would soon discover, leaves them amazed and mesmerized.

A lone truck driver drives his load, a ferris wheel, through a remote desert landscape. Trapped in his fears and habits, he hardly dares to step out of the sheltered driver's cabin. His pastime of silhouettes accompanies him on his journey through no-man's-land and beyond the edge of his universe.

In a regulated system built of boxes, the characters live and work in isolation. They draw, cut, fold and stack paper boxes. As the stacks get too high and finally collapse, the characters find each other and discover life together.

Women find themselves in a stage of life where loneliness blows them up like a balloon, tiredness lets them dance in the wind like a leaf, and they even lose control over their own bodies.
