Characters come in and out of doors. They enter rooms only to leave them seconds after. Our hero stands on the threshold of a gate waiting to gain access to the home of a doctor suspected in a case of mysterious disappearances. Keeping only scenes where doors, portals and gates appear, Rania Stephan re-edits the footage of the 1987 Egyptian sci-fi film “The Master of Time” by Kamal Al-Sheikh to condense it into a ballet of trajectories, revealing the multiplicity of the threshold motif.
