Our body is our window.
Lovesickness, birth, aging, loneliness, closeness— all of living is experienced through our bodies.
Through a casual but open-hearted conversation, we hope to encourage subjects to recount meaningful sensory experiences with specificity. The goal of the film is to create a meditation on presence and appreciation.
