Sinopsis: Sequence - a following of one thing after another in time.
The man is leaving his home. He can’t, however part with the memory of a person dear to him, which he lost. He evokes images trying to reconstruct their common experiences. Sequences back in his imagination.
The realistic observations mix with the unreal and the metaphorical. Using suggestive images with strong visuality, the film shows a study of loneliness and separation. Expressive music created by modern composer Ewa Trębacz intensifies the emotions giving the images a character of film impression.
