    • Synopsis
    • Woman - body - difficulties - creativity

      A bittersweet dreamlike journey sourced in Marie Patrono's Facebook profile and her mostly autobiographical writings. A woman rooted in her solitude, her struggle against illness, her derision
      and her love of beauty – the film features one single person changing over the course of 5 tableaux.
      A poetic thread through the interplay of bodies, the elements of nature, the city – a language combined with images that reflect inner states: tense, dreamed of, hoped for...

      The project is rooted in a notion of feminine solitude in times of Corona-19, driven by the loss/search for meaning, for traces, for survival – through beauty, creativity, the need for honesty, to look at everything, the dreams, the relationships with oneself, one's own doubles, friendships, lost loves, a constantly dialogued otherness, the ties of the heart, the ties to the dead who are still alive.
