Synopsis
Memories of a never visited place being the leitmotif of the film, this cinematographic project is balancing on the thin border between memory and fantasy. The border is a place where it is difficult to distinguish a fantastic image of a real place from a fantasy of an imaginary place. Even if some places exist only in our memories, they are not necessarily mere fantasies. And the other way round, the image of a never visited place, can still be based on memories.
