“This film whispered in my ear. In a world obsessed with visibility, hi-resolution and perfect rendering it asks us to lean in, focus, and imagine what’s not there, what’s disappeared. The filmmakers have created a touching portrait of our time, evoking our collective memory loss, our mourning and our nostalgia.” – Pia Borg, 25FPS Festival, 2021

A film of restless ghosts written in defiance of the darkness that conjures them into being. Composed of unfixed images that come to light during the chemical process of a darkroom, the film is a celebration of transience that allows for a deeper understanding of time and the impermanence of life. ”
Patrick Gamble, Artkino, 2021
