Synopsis
In this short we find ourselves in a woman’s house. She smiles whenever she looks at the camera as if she welcomes an unexpected guest inviting him or her in. In her loneliness, she needs to be seen and to be understood. Sometimes she entertains herself by setting the pieces of a broken mirror, as if she picks the pieces of her scattered memories to make it whole, and to view herself in it, even if some pieces are missing. She needs to be observed, even when she is cooking or when she puts on makeup. The mirror reflects her. She searches herself in it. At the end she walks to the balcony, stands next to a small flower vase. Is she waiting for someone to notice her, or is she contemplating to jump down?
