Sasha Svirsky narrates his character’s concerns and motivations in a wild reflexive mash up of colour, glitch and movement. “I like to improvise,” he says. Handsome Cezar has fine taste and lives a bachelor life in a sumptuous flat. When a troublesome lump on his chest turns out to be a small figure growing next to his heart, he is alarmed, but strangely unmoved. A beautiful film about the vulnerability of love and co-dependence.
