Synopsis
In this cinematic essay, the filmmaker intertwines imagery from her own daily life with the memories of Lisa (Yelyzaveta), an 18-year-old Ukrainian who lived in Montreal for a few months. Two strangers, so far yet so close.
A word from Tënk
Romane Pilote Lamontagne opens her cinematic diary to us, reflecting on the harshness of having no home due to the war that Russia continues to wage against Ukraine. The film’s texture hints at the severity of this reality, colored by a uniquely melancholic, adolescent atmosphere.
