Terrain by Lily Baldwin, Saschka Unseld, Kumar Atre (Usa, Germany,
Switzerland, 45’, 2020)
Terrain is a journey into the
Bardo: an otherworldly space between lives where we find an array of souls from
across the world. We slip and at once fall in, leaving the everyday behind.
This docu-dream is a story without words using the language of movement.
Through a vivid and surreal landscape, each person encounters a series of
distinct individuals and slowly rediscovers a larger collective body. Terrain
is a dancing unison of difference. Our bodies bridge gaps between worlds, and
with this we invent a new kind of non-verbal truth. This new interconnectedness
propels us back to life again, essentialized by our shared sense of interbeing.

die in childbirth and he has a twin brother, Daniel, raised in a remote
monastery by a depraved priest. The power of destiny brings back together the
two beautiful, identical brothers, who, after being reunited with their mother
Beatrice, are soon embroiled in a strange web of sex, revenge and redemption.
