A separation’s story, without any drama, watched by the eyes of a six year old daughter who doesn’t understand which may be the reasons. Her life is like a silver string in a consumed weave. She appreciates some afternoons spent with her daddy, she talks to the present and to the missing ones. She pays attention to the mystery of the sea, of the adults, to their near goodbye. The sea is the magic mirror that got her parents together and split them apart.
DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Shot in a long period of time and patiently distilled with skill. It’s the manifesto for a new cinematographic approach, a "diving dimension" (terzocinema) in which there's no possibility to reach the horizon that divides reality and representation.
