Friends on a country road

“In times as complex as the ones we live in, I had to make a film about emotional bonds and farewells. A film in winter. A small story in which the extraordinary breaks into an ordinary day. A daily walk that may be the last. I wanted to depict the path of these characters in the course of a day—their small inner changes, fragilities, joys, and emotions. I had to work with poetry, infuse poetry, and read poetry. Combining poetry with landscape. To make a quiet film where nothing serious happens—a kind of protection from the elements. To wander as a duo through these dry spaces. Those who like this film rediscover the power of their company.”
