Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke and So Yong Kim, representative of the new American independent cinema, send each other eight impressions from their daily routines and family lives. A leaf dancing in a spider's web, sunsets by the sea, photos of Eimbcke's father accompanied by his mother telling the story of his illness, conversations about childhood, pictures of babies and snails and views out of a window in Berlin. A minimalistic, private film.
I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
