Danach - an emotional, dark and honest short film by Anna Österlund from 2012 illustrating the harrowing sorrow that follows when the ceremonies are long gone. An interpretation I made of  a string quartet processional composed by Mikael Karlsson and performed by Sirius Quartet on the album "Phantasmata Domestica" from the avant-punk electronica duo Black Sun Productions.

The last track "Danach" is about the next day, featuring newcomer Maja Mintchev waking up in a cold dreamlike world, being forced to move on with her life yet overwhelmed by sorrow and reality. Mikael called it "when a horrible light demands a new day and when the ceremonies are all gone. We're never more naked than then, never more honestly fragile. It is at this moment we either grow or crumble as persons."
