A Woman and Her Lives
Moteris ir jos gyvenimaiTwo souls, entwined in love, traverse from one life to another. After death, they find themselves in different bodies. At the heart of the film is a feminine soul. These souls transform into infants, their cries expressing their desires to the world. They grow into children, learning the workings of this world, then become adults: a woman and a man. Life’s paths bring them together. They marry. Life progresses, and they age together, die together. When the soul journeys again, it enters a newborn. A girl grows, becomes a circus artist, meets her love, but their time is cut short by an earthquake disaster. The soul migrates again, into an infant, then a blade of grass, and back into an infant. Is this the journey of a human? The infant falls ill, becomes a girl. Feverish, she dreams of past lives, memories vivid, the soul knows all. When pain arrives, she needs his soul. But in this existential chaos, can these souls reunite once more?
