A collage-letter to friends I lost, or who drifted away. A film about the end of adolescence in the 1990s, set between Athens and Brussels. Fragments and snippets of memory, stitched together in the way memory actually works: through the flow of emotions. Letters inspired by those my friends sent me in Brussels, Super 8 footage I shot myself, photographs, Video 8 material, and newly filmed standalone scenes. The final medium is 16mm film.
