This short film is nothing short of extraordinary. From beginning to end, I was invested in every little detail we were offered. The story is told with such raw honesty and it evokes so many emotions watching the tale of mother and daughter. The attention to every detail, the nuances in the story telling and the personal voiceovers demonstrate that this project was a labour of love. There is a vulnerability to the whole film that invites viewers in to fully hear the story that is being told, as well as watch it unfold. Messages from the letters are not only key to depicting the passion behind this short, but they stick with you even after it's over. There are so many lessons hidden in every crevice of this film and each time you find yourself learning something new. This project was described as a love letter and it only becomes more apparent when watching it why this is the case.
Had I not known before, I never would have guessed that this was a directional debut from Stefania Spampinato and I am very much looking forward to seeing what other masterpieces she creates behind the camera. Brava!
