Synopsis

This film poem, measured and intimate, weaves together fragments of everyday life, dreams and memories into a kaleidoscopic reverie on cinema, desire and female legacy. Like a diary, the camera the filmmaker's mother gave her makes the everyday shine, while her gaze turns towards the women who shaped her way of seeing the world.
