The film consists of two basic components: the music of Charles Ives, 'The unanswered question', from 1907, and a letter written by an old woman who has lost her memory. Between these two elements, which are often repeated, a story like an abyss is built, in which information is progressively reduced. The words become music, the music becomes a rustle, the rustle turns into silence.
The Unanswered Question was directed by Johan van der Keuken.
The Unanswered Question runs for 18min, and was released in 1986.
