SYNOPSIS
You can’t bring back a dead horse, but there are ways to step into a place that was lost.
“Homesick Lungs” is an experimental farewell. The film delves into the lungs of Sheila, the dying horse, and the history of a sold family farm. 3D animations, screen recordings and documentary footage combine to form an essay on reconstructed memory. In the end, the wind brushes through virtual nettles.
