"We cry among the skyscrapers
As our ancestors
Cried among the palms in Africa
Because we are alone,
It is night,
And we're afraid."
- Afraid by Langston Hughes
Delve into the mystical realm of communication from beyond in this emotional block of films about messages from our ancestors, the divine, our past selves, and everything above, below, and in between. Each story unravels the threads that connect us to the unseen, including those we’ve lost too soon, exploring how these messages can illuminate our paths and deepen our understanding of life’s mysteries.
A search for the memory and legacy of the co-director's great-great-grandfather: the Surinamese artist and early critic of the Dutch colonial regime G.G.T. Rustwijk (1862-1914). Luci is a search for Rustwijk's "light" and what remains of it in modern-day Suriname.
