A hyperscopic exploration of life force. Fusing experimental stereoscopy with bioenergy, filmmaker Pierre-Luc Vaillancourt conceived new ways to experience the visual power of martial arts. Based on a combination of optical and psycho-visual techniques, the film explores volume and three-dimensionality and questions the physics of invisible nature.  A volcanic medicine in visual intensity.
