An experimental documentary comprised of regional vignettes about faith, force, technology and exodus. Eleven parables relay histories of settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism and resistance, all occurring somewhere in the state of Illinois.

An experimental, silent black-and-white film composed of a series of intimate close-up portraits of faces-mostly women-captured in moments of stillness, emotion, and vulnerability. Rather than following a traditional narrative, the film immerses the viewer in a meditative exploration of human presence and inner life. Shot with non-professional actors and figures close to Garrel's artistic circle, the film focuses on subtle expressions, gazes, and emotional shifts. These faces seem suspended in time, evoking solitude, introspection, and a sense of existential isolation. The absence of dialogue and conventional plot emphasizes mood over story, turning the film into a poetic reflection on loneliness, beauty, and the fragility of human connection.
