It begins with a pulse: neon breathing through rain-slick streets, a distant skyline fractured by glass and memory. The camera does not simply observe; it negotiates with the city, leaning into alleys that remember footsteps and rooftops that hoard old constellations. Faces appear like marginalia — brief, precise annotations of longing — each one an index to an untold story. Sound is sculpted: the low thrum of a generator becomes a heartbeat, a vinyl crackle translates grief into rhythm, and a single, sustained violin bows the film into vertical tears of light.
