SYNOPSIS

What if you found a message in a bottle in the form of a sealed film can, which your younger self had sent 30 years ago? After processing this 16mm reel, swept ashore on the beaches of France, I discovered that the sea had left its mark and the film bears the memory of all the things it witnessed in its journey to land. However, these images proved to be my own childhood memories.
