Film Description:

In a twilight space between dream and memory, Félix wanders through the forests of his mind, haunted by a past encounter and the echo of a mysterious star-nosed mole. “Condylura cristata” is a visual poem where silence speaks louder than dialogue, and absence takes form. As Félix drifts from reality, the boundaries between man, animal and memory dissolve, leaving behind fragments of a boy searching for meaning in a fractured world.
