we met on the bridge to try out a camera. in essence, this film is the conversation ignited by the material that we spontaneously shot that night. the realization of common and yet so different memories, and the understanding that we've found in each other while being so far away from the places we come from.

a film i shot for a film school application that i didn't complete. my ideas on how to make films back then were rather conservative and this project helped me realise i was going in the wrong direction. it addresses depression and burnout, experiences that were part of my reality more than i wanted to admit at the time.
