An original, personal vision from debut director Gabriel Gettman, inspired by Mimi-Nashi Hōichi 耳なし芳—, an ancient Japanese myth.
A blind feral girl, with unearthly spiritual power, is taken in at a desolate medieval monastery.
Can her priestly protector's faith save her from the dark forces drawn by her presence?
conceived as a psychological folk tale, rich in allegory, Caecilia laments the archetypal fate of lost artists, and the hubris of those who would save their souls
director’s statement
A truly special film, absolutely beautiful, with a profound sadness
a meticulously crafted symphony of images and sounds, it transports the viewer like a cinematic ballet
Emilie Black, Cinema Crazed
