A vision from Limbo, where the canoeist of the eternal lake floats in his boat, between sleep and wakefulness
When he sleeps, he dreams of the everyday of a parallel time. When he wakes up, the same song haunts him again and again. His boat, “Ara” (time, in Guarani) travels through time like a shooting star.
