Synopsis
In this experimental animated film, a woman explores the layers of her body and inner world. Through symbolic display of separation and reconnection with oneself, the film explores the dynamics of roughness and tenderness in relationship with oneself. An intimate journey exploring the complexity of self-acceptance and inner harmony.
