First Law: Quail Ct.

2011 • Directed by

Mike Gibisser

The first of a four part series pairing one of the laws of thermodynamics with a close study of a discrete domestic space. The first law of thermodynamics suggests energy can neither be created nor destroyed—the film a meditation on this axiom. The lines between religion, science, morning exercise, and breakfast cereal blur as an old man carries on with diurnal routines after his wife has passed.
