SYNOPSIS

[EN] DESIRE is a non-chronological timeline collage based on a corpus of footage from melodrama. The decoupage-based work covers roughly thirty years, from 1932 to 1958. It includes American, Argentinian, British, Finnish, Italian, Japanese, Mexican and Spanish titles. The film follows a diachronic and synchronic path, intertwining film history over a determined period and in timeless moments. It emphasizes that although History changes in space and time, human gestures remain the same. This sense of constant repetition is a desperate way to escape the human condition, oppressed by time passing through the machinery of power. The film addresses the impossibility of total liberation from the archive - even when memory is reduced to ash - roaming at the threshold between presence and absence onto desire.
