Barbara, a young woman consumed by despair, contemplates suicide, while a man she meets in a church and a married couple struggle to persuade her that life is still worth living. Mekas’s film weaves this intimate drama into a larger reflection on alienation, politics, and the turbulence of early 1960s America.

"Concerto for Water, Sun and Wilderness was my BA thesis film in 1972. It was meant to be an exploration into some of the possible relationships and structures between pure cinema and music."
