GLOTTIS takes place inside a glottis or in the depths of a cave, in ancient times, in future times or even out of time. Three wide-eyed individuals are engaged in mysterious practices. They communicate with each other in a guttural, rhythmic language akin to beatboxing, and seem to be conversing with all sorts of invisible forces.

This trio, with its disturbing allure of fantastic prophecy, is a dreamlike plunge into the meanders of the unconscious. Inspired by the expressionist and surrealist cinema of the early 20th century, GLOTTIS is an apology for the occult.
