The central two movements in ‘For Now’ are panoramic shots and firm, vertical edits. The film unfolds in waves. Locations appear, disappear, and come round again – Lewinsky Park, Maximilian Park, Habima Square, Lion Square, Zuccotti Park, Times Square or pastoral landscapes at opposite ends of the Mediterranean Sea.

A contemporary film in the pure sense of the word - a way of being with time.
The protagonists of the film are ordinary provincials, they enthusiastically talk about "valor, glory, love", they know how to dream and create around that amazing environment that encourages creativity.
