'Uku Ukai' is a meditative film poem full of rhyming images about movement, old age and the human body.
‘Take a deep breath in…and out,’ a soothing female voice says. We see a young woman putting makeup on an old woman's face, a marathon man running, an old woman lying in bed, recreational swimmers, a sewing machine stitching away, a group of elderly people doing gymnastics, a dog running along the soft shoulder, his tongue dangling, and people lying on top of each other on a stretch of grass, laughing with forced laughs. ‘Beware of your physical body,’ the voice says. ‘Become aware of the sensations in your body.’ 'Uku Ukai' is a meditative film poem full of rhyming images about movement, old age and the human body.
