De Wervelende Wirwar/The Swirling Tangle unfolds across twelve chapters, tracing Yokeh’s journey amidst a solar eclipse in Aalst, Belgium, where the elliptical structure of her memories evolves into a profound confrontation. Portrayed by the renowned actress Joke Devynck, Yokeh, a soap opera star, is meticulously observed in the tapestry of her everyday existence. An ageing, crackling voiceover comments on Yokeh’s actions and encounters, yet the narrator’s desperate attempts to steer events prove mostly futile. The story takes an irreversible turn as the sun vanishes behind the moon, altering Yokeh’s life forever.
