For 5 days the film crew followed a donkey during its visits to old people in nursing homes in England. From home to home, from room to room. The donkey was welcomed warmly, with greetings, songs, strokes, childhood stories, poems, and laughter. Until the donkey entered the room of Norbert, a man who lost his ability to speak. While editing, the film became shorter and shorter. What is left is perhaps a bas-relief disguised as a painting, disguised as a film.
KORIDOR
Re˛issöör Sarah Vanagt
Filmigrupp veetis viis päeva koos eesliga, kes külastas hooldushaiglat, puuetega inimeste kodusid. Et vanuritele ja haigetele lohutust ning seltsi pakkuda. Ülesvõetud rikkalikust videomaterjalist jäi filmi aga vaid üks episood – eesli kohtumine Norbertiga. Mehega, kes on kaotanud kõnevõime. Tema eest kõneleb nüüd film. Inimese armastusest looduse vastu.
