A sensuous art film with no dialogue, Play the Wind follows a brooding man in a beat-up car (Dimitri Chamblas) as he takes a nostalgic drive through Los Angeles, lost in a world that feels like part of a fabricated memory and part distant dream. After locking eyes with a dark-haired woman (Riley Keough), her life takes a turn for the unexpected when she's suddenly thrusts into her past. She tumbles rapidly through space and time as she confronts and strips away layers of her old self.
