Emotions,are like brandy. Always cooking, burning. Waiting to be distilled.
SYNOPSIS
Mario Haber (aka Eric Maria Strom) was a modern-day alchemist: a professional sound engineer who illegaly distilled spirits in his basement, a sort of sanctuary where he used to invite his friends and occasional lovers to taste and enjoy his home made brandy. For over a decade, Mario recorded conversations taking place around the house and the fermenter, until the day he himself turned into a spirit. The Spirits Diary is a later day visual reconstruction of those original audio recordings, a film you need ”to see with your ears”.
