I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.
David Lynch, Lost Highway
A broken cuckoo clock, that's where it starts. Found in a shed, a house deep in the forests of eastern Poland, near the city of Białystok. Eight people rummaging through forest and attics, cellars and church records in search of a place's past. And as soon as they pull on a rusty piece of metal in the forest, a sunken bed hangs from it. Like Ariadne's thread, they pull out more and more fragments of everyday and mysterious stories.
They reveal memories and fragments and, time and again, the still unsolved: things that lie in the shadows, buried deep in the ground. Layers and stories from different times. Still decomposing, fermenting. Still urging to be looked at. How to deal with the mess? Leaden silence.
What can't be answered in reality wants to live on in the imagination, keep asking questions and creeps into dreams. What was and what if? What now?
