Category 5: No Time Zone

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n.” ~John Milton, Paradise Lost

A lone figure explores the wreckage of a plane; it is unclear whether she exists physically and emotionally in the current time zone or has been displaced, destined to wander in limbo. Filmed at an airplane graveyard in Bangkok, the title refers to military planes that are “mothballed” or preserved for scrap parts. The category 5000 does not exist in military language. It is outside the realm of sustainability.
