Director's statement: A love letter in a digital era -and during a worldwide pandemic- would probably be "written" in the 9:16 aspect ratio: the last screen someone would see these days is probably that of their smartphone. In terms of story, my main references were Theo Angelopoulos' "Eternity & a Day" (1998) and Kunihiko Yuyama's "Windaria" (1986). The final part of my Trilogy of Women: "Narcissus" (2009), "Angels of Us" (2013) & "My Dear Anna" (2020). My most "personal" film so far.
