Synopsis

At One Fell Swoop follows a stone carver on a metamorphic wander through rural Ireland. In passing he slips through the film’s frames into a re-imagining of his surroundings, finding himself trapped in a flickering, shifting world of shadows on an intense, cataclastic path towards a dead end — a phantom-like film lodged amid multiple stratums of time and space.
