Pickled Long Cucumbers
The video tells a story about a tribe-like co-existence, on every-day life and living together, on the impossibility of being completely “natural”. Three characters perform various activities that might appear irrational, but within the pace of the video they suddenly seem like the most natural thing to do in order to survive in the wilderness. An Adam-and-Eve-like couple explores their imperceptible surroundings letting the viewer come face to face with the unbearable ease of existence. It's a portrait of three people that has so to say “returned to the roots”.
