Raging Sun, Raging Sky

A story of ardent love between two young men, Kieri and Ryo, who are ill-fated. When Ryo is kidnapped by a jealous Tari, Kieri must make a mystical journey to be with his beloved, an allegory where salvation can be reached only in the afterlife. The film is a paraphrase of Orpheus and Eurydice and Mayan mythology. The modern world, including a porn cinema, mixes with the ancient. A visual poem about deep love, desire and sexuality, flowing at a pensive pace, achieves its depth by images and music with a minimum of words. The picture won many festival awards, e.g. Teddy Bear at Berlinale 2009.
