A summer vacation listening to the opera of love, Dido & Aeneas, drifting into daydream and nightmare. Adriaan is ninety years old and in his golden hour. The inevitable will come to pass, he will have to leave his beloved House of Janus behind.
This meditation on past and future evokes the threshold of two-faced Etruscan god Janus. The face of life and the face of death. The film opens towards different existences, non-human and human, living frailties and non-living eternities.
