The Hearts of Age

A dandified gentleman appears at the top of a stairway and doffs his hat to the lady; he smiles and courts her attention.

He leafs through a number of tombstone-shaped cards with different inscriptions - "Sleeping", "At Rest", "With The Lord" - and finally chooses one that says "The End".

The film's action, such as it is, is intercut with random shots of bells, headstones, a church cross and other images, sometimes printed in negative.

The film was released by Kino on the first DVD in its Avant Garde series, Avant-Garde: Experimental Cinema of the 1920s and '30s (August 2, 2005, UPC 738329040222).
