A 28-minute silent fever dream where spoons are people and love is geometry.
Expressed by movements and metaphors without language, the story’s plot develops dreamlike interactions between simple human beings. Taking up the invitation to look into the made up odd-world and its fascinating odd-forest, the spectator gets to meet the naive, childish, but in their plainness still wonderful, inhabitants. Boy meets girl. Girl meets another boy. Boy meets another boy. And girl meets another girl. But did we try all possibilities?
Direction

Production
The 'odd-forest' set design is deliberately handmade and hypnotic.

Spoon-people costumes that somehow become genuinely expressive.
Director
Jana Smokoňová
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of Eastern European experimental shorts using body theater to bypass language barriers and state censorship histories.
The 28-minute runtime is deliberate — Smokoňová wanted audiences to experience it as one continuous breath, like a remembered dream.
