Revelation of Jonah
Directed by
Humans and the power of nature. How many times have we felt that we are surrounded and pervaded by something much greater than ourselves? It is a perception that may translate into an intuition, a premonition or, perhaps, a fleeting realization and lead to the more profound question of who we really are. Drawing inspiration from the Book of Jonah, who flees from his destiny and spends three days, three nights and three lives in the belly of a huge fish, the images in the film follow one another in a journey that that becomes a philosophical parable in which the eyes have to accustom themselves to the darkness to make them out clearly. Separation morphs into unity, a perspective that captures details to extend into the vastness of the whole.
Seeing clearly means immersing oneself in deep black waters. Being left to one’s own devices–isn’t this the toughest experience for the soul? After all, to be alone with one’s soul, one has to break away from all the rest. Not always do we recognize its voice and when we hear it, we get lost attempting to unveil its code. What language does my soul speak? There are questions whose existence is necessary for life. Who am I? Where do I come from and where am I now? What do I see when my eyes are open and what do I see when they are closed? A life. Life itself, its beauty, the beauty of the universe, nature, animals, people and everything that surrounds us. Life itself, which offers inspiration if you know how to see it. Through this awareness, we grasp how vast the field of alternatives is, a field of infinite possibilities. If we act as part of this world, in harmony with nature, it may also develop through our deepest feelings.
