SYNOPSIS
BAĦAR ŻMIEN (Of Time And The Sea) is a film about a stasis and slow change. A crippled King whose kingdom has crumbled lives in a remote corner of an island called First with his two daughters in the wake of a bizarre malady of mysterious origin.

Following a series of encounters with an obnoxious neighbour, a Chinese billionaire desperate to contract the disease and a sousaphone player in search of his band mates, the malady threatens to return. The social order, already precarious, crumbles as the virus takes hold once again.

“ A grand yet minimal mise en scéne, always on the verge of total collapse - Sant carves out a strinkingly original cinematic style”
Adrian Martin, Film Critic

“...this singular and delightful adventure has shades of Beckett in its seriousness, fun and sharpness”
Jean Pierre Rehm, Film Theorist, Critic
