MEMENTO MORI

“Do you fear death? Don’t be frightened...”

Aboy spends hours on a busy holiday beach. His impressions and thoughts intertwine to a current perception that is concerned with transience.

The cinematic essay MEMENTO MORI aims to understand life and death as a unit and questions the fear of death.
