Synopsis

Juan is fast asleep while S. reflects on images and on cinema. A piece of advice from a director she admires makes her question herself and everything she has made so far; so S. sets out to find an idea behind the images she has shot until now, and ends up wandering among materials, her own archive of images and sounds, browser tabs, westerns and Japanese tales. S. gathers all these thoughts and discoveries into a letter, hoping to hand it to Juan when he wakes up.
