Parabole is based on a fascination for absurd shapes in the Belgian landscape. The film observes a group of satellite dishes rising together in a deserted scenery close to the small village Lessive in the south of Belgium. Bas Verbruggen investigates the abandoned site where time stands still. The sounds and ideas that were once sent and received trough these satellite dishes float in this digital age, making these dishes have almost no value anymore, over the forests and fields. The film is a visual search for form, time and environment, focused on a strange but also beautifull subject like these sattelite dishes.
