>>> A film to watch in Block 3. Of Humans and Animals
In a small interior space where bodies constantly yearn for sleep, the filmmaker seeks in her beloved Henry something soft and tender to inhabit, a little fur to retreat into. Between bedsheets and freckles, a love declaration emerges, a fragile collage tracing a pathway between intimacy, vulnerability, and warmth. An ode to our captive pets, and to the intimate worlds where we learn to live and to rest.
