The twilight hour: love, pain and death

Desires (longings) have a power, because they are untamed and uncivilized. They want to infringe rules, they come from the realm of dreams. They can feel like pain and they make us move to risk something even if we don’t know what the outcome is. In daydreams one is rehearsing solutions and tries new ways. These daydreams extend from banal and slushy fantasies to complex designs for living an utopian ideas.In this film four women speak very frankly about their desires, describe their daydreams and make concepts for the present and the future: it is about daily life, recollections of the childhood and, of course, about love: how love is, how love could be and how love could be saved.The special feature of this film is first the openness, with which something apparently private is being make public and second, the way the film is being made with its austere documentary pictures confronted by visions.
