Leila Albayaty

Leila is a singer-songwriter who lives in Brussels. When Antoine, the man she is in love with, suddenly walks out on her for another woman, she leaves for Berlin to start a new life.

When we’re moving, walking, watching, driving, how do we breathe? European Summer road diary. Back-and-forth with friends, music, Super8, video, poems. It’s an inner travelling hard to finish and give, because that kind of ‘catches’ doesn’t stop itself. As life is unrecordable, I play and replay reflections at many fps (frames per second - or second frames).

Back home, Leila was involved in a mysterious car accident that her mind has blocked from her memory. Now it's Summer, and Leila escapes on a Roman Holiday to tend to her wounds in the arms of her sister, Anna. But the two sisters can't connect and if Leila's going to recover she'll have to take the first steps alone
