Sanatorio

A hypnotic trip leads to a deserted sanatorium for children. What-Has-Been has flown into the space, the Present is growing green and leaf-like through windows and doors. In its poetic atmosphere of faded colours and distant sounds, »sanatorio« is touching, just as the building itself may be a metaphor for looking back on childhood.
