The Garden of Earthly Delights

(Ogród rozkoszy ziemskich)

“Garden of Earthly Delights” is an adaptation of Lech Majewski’s story “Metaphysics.” Chris, a vessel engineer and a loner who moves in a world of symmetry and arithmetic, and Claudia, an Italian fascinated by Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings and medieval alchemy are both in search of their place in the world. In an attempt to discover and exemplify truth about their existence, Chris seeks answers through his video camera recordings while Claudia studies Bosch’s triptych “The Garden of Earthly Delights”. The film uses a limited filming crew. Many scenes are filmed by the two main characters adding an element of intimacy.
