A tender, meditative documentary about human connection forged across distance during quarantine, using analog filmmaking as both subject and method.

In the absence of any physical connection, this short explores alternative forms of contact among neighbors by making use of an old 16mm camera, a zoom lens, and a few meters of expired film.
