Our process

The film is experimental — we didn’t know if it would work. We didn’t plan much. We just created a calm, simple space with no technology, where they could be themselves. Often, we just sat by the fire and waited. The camera was always there, but never hidden. It followed their journey — from cold, distant places to warmer, more open ones. We asked questions, gave small tasks, but let them decide what to share and when to stop. Silence was important. Sometimes nothing needed to be said. Our goal was not to tell a perfect story, but to give space for something true to happen.
