The City and the Sun

Leonor Noivo

Fiction / 35mm / 19' / 2012

A woman and two dogs, inside a house, in a city. She finds in her daily gestures the remembrance of someone who has left. The sun blinds her, becoming aggressive, and just as death, she cannot look it in the eye – only its effect in the shadows around her.
