An empty floor is captured on the screen, and we start to hear the sound of water from somewhere being poured and falling and being washed away. Soon after, from the bottom of the screen, water mixed with suds slowly starts to creep up to soon cover the entire floor. The sound of the water grows gradually louder and brooms suddenly appear from everywhere, sweeping the sudsy water to the middle of the screen. The sound of the water being swept becomes increasingly intense before suddenly stopping, and then the brooms also disappear. Cinthia Marcelle has mostly presented works that focus on the commotion of everyday life, the movement of bodies, and the charm of common materials, and Leitmotiv indeed shows a small event of everyday life transformed into a delightful and poetic work.
