SWIRL

At 81, Bastu still loves a good party and dancing until dawn with her friends. When her husband dies, she is suddenly forced to rethink her life and her routine. She spends time telling stories to her grandchildren and reminiscing with friends.

The nonprofessional actors in this documentary-hybrid play themselves as they reenact aspects of their daily lives. With a gentle proximity to the enchanting elements of their small-town culture, Swirl is an oneiric portrait of family bonds involving mystical events and vivid music sessions.
