The Martyr

The texture of memory gains bearing and its own sounds in a narrative which, stemming from image fragments (such as our memories), refuses to reiterate the expectation of violence and aggression in the bodies of Syrian men persecuted in certain territories. These bodies are managed by nothing but tenderness, fraternity. And this time narrated from the point of view of a woman, who also speaks of these cyclical processes of caring for one another.

Nothing Personal

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
