Mazurka in E minor, Op. 17, No. 2

Synopsis

A film miniature to classical music. Chopin's nostalgic music illustrated in the film image with associations with the Polish countryside through poetics taken from 19th century painting. Fields of grain with flowering poppies, a country road with a ladder cart, a thatched cottage, a hearth, a well with a crane and a woman carrying a bucket of water. The images seamlessly intermingle with each other to create a highly evocative story about the passing and transience of moments filled with work from dawn to dusk.
