The Perfect Circle

Earth to earth water to water The body weight of a newborn child is up to 85 percent water but in adulthood the ratio can be cut into half In a way people dry up as they grow older In Claudia Tosis documentary people drink water watch the rain and wait for their death The Perfect Circle depicts a man and a woman Ivano and Meris who spend their final days at a hospice in the hills of Reggio Emilia Northern Italy Their illnesses are in the terminal stage and they know that death is only a matter of time But the evernearing end may fleetingly be forgotten like when they close their eyes and get lost in the music until the bodies being carried out next door once again remind them of the inevitable Death also becomes a part of life for the patients loved ones who want to spend the last available moments with the soon to be departed
