Synopsis

How does it feel to go through and experience one’s life from their point of view? To feel the isolation and loneliness of an old grandmother whose family has moved far away.

The repeated long and boring days pass by with a little taste of daydreaming and imagination.

Personal statement

Director Tara Khalili says:

"I find expressing myself and my feelings to be very difficult, almost impossible verbally and I have found filmmaking as a way to express my inner emotions and thoughts about things.

This film is a poetic expression of my feelings towards my grandmother. Using 16mm film, hand processing and painting on film is a way for me to demonstrate the imperfect world."
