Synopsis

The route of a tractor crosses our path on the beach, a tourist guide to destruction.
There is at least one place we pass by every day, the same place, which is temporary and on the move. The next day, it may no longer be there, a new place has been written over, and it's no longer possible to pass by it every day, it's now fenced off, it's private property.
The impermanence of life has made us invent memory, and with it tales of enchantment. This route crosses stories of a place we don't know if we'll ever see again, we don't even know if it's still there. The announced inevitability of progress tries to recreate the enchantment, but after the destruction, is it still possible to see this place?
