An example of this type of film is “Loading…”. It is self-psychoanalysis, a segment of the mind of the film’s author, who sleeps and whose precipitous mind is written (played back) into the resulting picture of the morning. More precisely, a nightmare (in reality a true story), is created from letters that are constituted from the morning light – literally. The visuals of the film are created from two layers. The first layer consists of night and the second, hidden beneath it, of day (morning), while the place is absolutely identical. The letters are formed by gradual revelation of the sub-layer as it glows and illuminates the morning by unveiling it. The result is a sort of strange, trance-like catharsis, which culminates in a dramatic confrontation between the text and the picture. With the culmination of this catharsis, the story itself also ends, describing how the brain of the hero is overwhelmed by chaotic thoughts in a situation which becomes ever more complicated and falls into disarray, where it is not possible to force any conclusion and yet it is necessary to try to emerge from any situation with dignity. This sort of counter-story also falls into the category of “ABS Story”.
