A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
