Nails in My Brain

A young man wanders through the ruins of what may or may not be his childhood home where each crumbling doorway opens up onto the past Memories accost himmemories of his school days of loved ones long gone of wonder callousness and defeat The painful invasion gives rise to a series reflections on the limits of cinema and the poverty and inescapability of the life of the mind No matter how much he has tried to change the young manwho may or may not be the filmmaker himselfalways returns to the same places same questions same faces same recollectionsthe same nails in his brain
