The audience is not told a precisely defined story, but given the opportunity to interpret what is seen. "Sanctus ex" is an experimental short movie based on the effects of different atmospheres, the composition of pictures and coloring. The object of the film is to show pictures that affect the viewer; transporting the plot is not a primary goal. The movie uses confusing, disconcerting and shocking images and visual effects to create a world of its own that focuses the viewer's attention. Each episode of the movie is designed to work as a single sequence with a continuous, unique style and mood. The variety of these atmospheres goes from a chilling gloom to shocking, terrifying horror. Their effects on the audience are enhanced by the appropriate background music, which was composed especially for the movie. Also, a complexly edited audio background and surreal noises and sounds amplify the atmosphere of the movie.
