DE WERVELENDE WIRWAR (The Swirling Tangle) unfolds across twelve chapters, tracing Yokeh—performed by renowned Belgian actress Joke Devynck—on her journey through a solar eclipse in Aalst, Belgium. As the elliptical structure of her memories gradually unravels, she is led to a profound confrontation.
Yokeh, a soap opera star, lives a seemingly mundane existence, meticulously observed throughout the film. An aging, crackling voice-over comments on Yokeh’s actions and encounters, but the narrator’s desperate attempts to shape the course of events are mostly in vain.
As the story progresses, an irreversible turn occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, an event that changes Yokeh's life forever.
