A soldier in a trench makes an effort to replace the emptiness of thought with moments when the firmament of the heavens seemed to open up to him: lost time is given him in the form of images which detach from the surface, offering themselves as vision/immersion in the abysses of memory. Plethora. The Gift is an anaglyph and vertical film, created with a stereoscopic technique. Plethora means excess, superabundance, and is synonymous with abundance, flood, world. The gift, lastly, is something that cannot be acquired through an act of will but arrives unexpectedly and speaks authoritatively to the soul.
