It symbolises eternity and infinity, entirety and perfection. Supposedly, there is no perfect circle, but it is almost omnipresent and the possibilities attributed to it can made your head spin and incite fear at the same time. In her ‘round’ documentary experimenting with the form, the director confronts unlimited quantifiers with an aim to apply technical possibilities to tame what is uncertain and in fact impossible to grasp, such as the passing of time, multidimensionality or finiteness.
