Description
A composer's quest for the perfect sound becomes an all-consuming obsession. He fixates on capturing a mysterious, eerie, distant sound that equates with his desires: the ideal woman, city, and work of art. As he breaks free from the asylum, he embarks on a series of comic, dreamlike, and ultimately haunting adventures in pursuit of this elusive sound. His search leads him to confront the root cause of all his failures. Through its unique blend of humor, surrealism, and philosophical inquiry, Normance explores the complexities of human desire and the nature of artistic expression.
