Synopsis

Carbon follows a young woman through a series of chance encounters, as if following a single atom on its journey. Unformed motion and light connect to her thoughts, as the very act of living becomes overwhelming and confounding. Sounds of water, wind, and fire paint her perceptions into the world, accentuating the threshold between animate and inanimate.
