Electric Fields

A pair of lovers experience their last night together, a man sleeps through an entire season, a deceased man is brought back to life by a radio, and a woman finds herself in Rome in the middle of the night. ELECTRIC FIELDS tells six stories of people whose normality mysteriously falls apart in a tragic-comic, yearning atmosphere. Enchantingly poetic images, exclusively in black and white and imbued with quiet humour, make you forget time. Lisa Gertsch creates a magical universe full of seekers and lovers in whom we recognise ourselves and look upon with tenderness. The film playfully tells of love and longing, of loneliness, sadness and cheerfulness, of the inexplicable and the mysterious, creating a symphony of life itself.
