Dance of Dust

73 mins/1998

Llia is a young man who works in a brick kiln. He falls in love with Limua who has come with her mother to work as a seasonal labourer at the kiln. Llia is haunted by mysterious whisperings calling him to other realms, and only the imprint of Limua’s hand on the brick, which is finally thrown into a deep well, can bring him peace of mind.

Rain for the kiln workers signifies the end of the work season and the ailing Limua has to depart with the others. Llia is lonely again.
