So now I've landed here. A bump of flat land at the tip of England with the most beautiful and roundest pebbles in the world. They're called shingles here.
A cottage full of memories and ghosts, perhaps. I'm allowed to stay for 2 weeks. I have the cottage all to myself.
The nights are cold, but I sleep a lot and warmly in the big bed made of dark wood, which is like a boat.
I dream a lot, intensely and deeply.

Statement:
“With a playful and unconventional touch, the director finds symbols and images in her surroundings, from which she crafts a delightful dreamlike tale. Text and image come together to form a poem that is by turns humorous and thought-provoking, its cinematic form shaped by her personal narrative and her uniquely creative handling of the film footage.”
