Jesús Olmo‘s 0101 is a meditative short about a woman, and the sea. Think about it. A passage from Clarice Lispector‘s short story Waters of the Sea aids in the thought process:

“There it is, the sea, the most incomprehensible of non-human existences. And here is the woman, on the beach, the most incomprehensible of living beings. As the human being one day asked itself a question about itself, it became the most incomprehensible of living beings. She and the sea. Their mysteries can only meet if one surrenders to the other: the surrender of two unknowable worlds, made with the confidence with which two understandings give themselves up.”

The music was scored by Mendel Kaelen, featuring the vocal talents of Karima el Fillali.
