Genre: existential drama / mystical realism
Logline: The protagonist finds himself in a world where reality exists only within the
boundaries of his perception. Anything outside his awareness disappears, compressing space and challenging the
notion of his own existence.
Visual: B&W, static camera, minimalism. Space trembles and dissolves, sound reduced to eerie
silence. Inner perspective.
Format: 70–90 min / short film possible
Goal: project production, festivals (Berlinale, Venice), art distribution, international
promotion.
In a world where boundaries are not defined by distance but by the mere fact of existence, the protagonist
finds himself in a space that vanishes the moment he looks away. There are no fixed landmarks—walls do not
confine, objects do not persist, and each step forward does not lead ahead but instead reduces the possibility
of movement itself. Everything is held together by a single point that shifts, expanding or contracting space
according to an incomprehensible principle.
This film operates at the intersection of philosophy and quantum mechanics, where reality proves to be a
fragile construct dependent on the observer. The protagonist seeks to understand where the world ends and what
lies beyond its limits, but the closer he gets to an answer, the more questions arise.
‘Liminum’ is not just a film but a cinematic experience, immersing the viewer in the very
process of disappearance. There is no conventional narrative, only the unsettling sensation of standing on the
edge of perception and nothingness. If the boundaries disappear, then who or what is defining them?
Visual Style: The film begins in a clearly defined space, but as the protagonist moves, the
world loses its structure. Perspectives distort, objects fade, and sound dissolves into an eerie emptiness.
The film creates a tangible sense of instability, where reality itself wavers.
Why does this matter now? In an era dominated by digital perception, simulations, and the
relentless flow of information, this film raises a fundamental question: does something exist if no one is
observing it?
