This experimental film uses a combination of long-distance interviews, sound recordings of the cicada's intoxicating song, and images in a variety of media and formats, while highlighting the artists' process, which is fraught with pitfalls. These include, the use of a faulty camera and out-of-date film, and, above all, the impossibility of crossing the U.S. border during COVID. An aesthetic force of rare artistic candour, this skillfully cobbled-together audio and visual immersion bears witness to a periodic natural event while painting a sociological portrait of an America that may also be at the start of a new cycle.
