In the words of the director: “For quite some time I have been fascinated by the spectacular beauty of the 13th Century Roman Liturgy for Easter. The words of early philosopher and church teacher Augustin about the art of the Sequence, which at the time was referred to as a work of music, inspired me to undertake the attempt to produce a film, one which essentially reflects on what Augustin heard. Indeed, what did he hear? A form of communication which didn't necessitate the spoken word, but one in which one spirit to another was revealed. I have presented here a visual sequence to the musical sequence”.
