STILL LIFE WITH WOMAN, TEA AND LETTER

NFF, 2022

Short Film

2' 15"

SYNOPSIS

A photograph is a window into the past, but sometimes, the border
between past and present is not entirely clear. This stop-motion animation invites us to think about our relationship to time, by portraying one woman caught in the middle.
