In a poignant poetic essay, Chantal Partamian navigates through ephemeral borders, suspended between two nation-states. In a long-distance journey filled with love and desire, two lovers find themselves caught in transit. Through fragments of experience, the film explores the beauty and pain of separation, while celebrating the power of love. Using evocative imagery and poignant narration, the experimental filmmaker, documentary filmmaker and queer activist conveys her unique worldview, making this film an unforgettable experience for all lovers, travelers and people seeking to express themselves freely. Come experience this inspiring work and reflect on the universal themes of freedom, distance and identity, presented by the queer artist who explores the limits of our understanding of the world.
