Award-winning filmmaker Anne Aghion brings us on her decades-long, global odyssey to overcome loss. Through a series of tender, honest and visually stunning cinematic letters to the mother she lost at the age of ten and barely remembers, she grapples with the long-ignored effect of this death, the suppressed memories of her father’s life during the Holocaust, and a career as a filmmaker spent avoiding her own grief by giving voice to people who’ve survived extreme poverty and genocide. With a collage of home movies, outtakes from her previous films and original animated artwork embedded in grandiose footage of vast landscapes that take us to India, France, Rwanda, Antarctica and New York, Anne Aghion asks a question we all face: How do we live past the heartbreaks, sorrows and traumas we endure and come out whole?

I live to leave, I leave to live. A confrontation with both cultural unfamiliarity and personal introspection– what lies beyond those doors? Are they just symbols of transition, curiosity, and the constant negotiation between leaving and staying? Why do we constantly seek for more? Of stepping into others' safe spaces and leaving something behind, of human connection and freedom across linguistic barriers and unfamiliar territories. On embracing yet questioning the in-between, the shift in physical and lyrical perspectives, while trusting every move/mistake made. An unplanned exploration, a concept of "how not to make a film," produced as part of Apichatpong Creators' Lab 2023 and shot in Yucatán, Mexico.
