Ritual of people saying goodbye led by a new discovery, young talkative British stage and film actor George MacKay (Movie 1917)
Excerpt from a short film "Infinite" on the power of friendship in the face of grief
"What do you associate me with that made my life significant related to home, location, love, family, friends?", asked Sid.
They meet days after bringing an item: a wood from the home ceiling place where they regularly meet, a map of places visited, a lipstick mark of a girl's kiss imprinted on a photograph, a wrist watch from the father, video camera file of memorable events.
Days after in an outdoor ceremony, Sid instructed, "Burn them following a ritual so they remain forever on earth in the atmosphere even when I am gone."
All cooperated. Each of the 4 friends brought the associated items to throw in the bonfire Sid himself created.
Each one explained the significance of the item to the dying friend's life; physical states were burned and transformed by fire into another form to live in the atmosphere infinitely.
Then they celebrated with a wild dance.
Such is the power of their friendship.
Find out why the ritual heals and with his forthcoming death, his memory will remain "infinite".
