Statement of the Director/s
A woman has disappeared and we celebrate the love we felt for her. At first, we are satisfied with glorifying the world and the tenderness of the feelings we shared. And when all that falls short, we seek solace in art, and through it, we try to leave for others the proof that love exists, and that it abandoned us, since we felt it... This is the material from which my film is made.
