gritt is a character in the movie gritt— the protagonist or agonist of the story. gritt has a big social art project she can't get organized, called the white inflammation, a kind of blanket of apathy that has fallen upon the land. she comes to seem rather sociopathic, but sympathetic. finally she escapes the place of her frustrated attempts to belong and to reflect on the human disintegration to a cabin in the mountains and immediately feels free and happy and to make art without social constraint, and it's not about the thematic apocalypse but about nature and intuition and alchemy.
