Selene waits for a messenger to arrive.
She recalls her early memories of Endymion, realizing how her love has held him captive. Her message is clear: free Endymion of his sleep.

Loosely based on the myth of Selene and Endymion, the film reverses her gesture: instead of holding him in eternal sleep, Selene now calls for his release. Her love, once a form of captivity, becomes an act of redemption. Choosing freedom over possession.

Growing from a single image of raindrops projected onto my legs inside a car, resembling the Moon’s surface, the myth of Selene opened a way to explore memory and intimacy. As Robert Musil wrote, a “rain-silent pleasure”.
