In My Room
Directed by Mati Diop
Produced by Hi! Production, Miu Miu
A tender, introspective meditation on aging, memory, and domestic life told through the voice of a deceased grandmother, using opera and windows as metaphors for performance and connection.
Made during confinement, "In My Room" plunges us into the poignant story of a woman at the twilight of her life, through recordings of the director's deceased grandmother. Living rooms become stages where life is performed. Windows become portals to the lives of others.
