Transience is about a love that blooms quickly and burns brightly. How it stirs the soul and quickens the heart. Like a flame, it flickers and dances, illuminating the darkness, warming the cold. It is a love that knows no bounds, that lives and dies in the same breath. Without games or pretense you lay yourself bare in hope of acceptance. A journey of exploration and discovery. And yet, as quickly as it begins, a transient romance can end just as suddenly. An opening act for the melancholy symphony. But even in its brevity, it can leave a lasting impact on our souls. We become both student and teacher, we hold and feel held, we lean fearlessly into time’s consequence. Let us reel in its beauty and it struggles, its joys and its pains. As we somersault through life, let’s not forget that to lose a connection it must first be found.

A young Belgian woman returns to Japan to gain insight and find peace in her past relationship with her Japanese ex-lover. She travels around Japan, observing nature as the seasons change.

If she can accept this transience, she will be able to understand what happened to their love.

An experimental meditation on the pervasive nature of transience.

Shot entirely on a webcam and guided by the Imperfect Cinema philosophy, this film captures the drunken drift of a man reaching for connection in a cold, indifferent city. What unfolds is either a dream, a dying vision, or both. Then — reality returns with a quiet whimper. Life moves on. Raw, lo-fi, and unapologetically rough, this is a meditation on how easily the world forgets. Meaning is left open; interpretation belongs to the viewer.
