Yama no Anata

YAMA NO ANATA [BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS]
A film by Aya Koretzky
Documentary, 2011, 59'

Synopsis

« I submerge in the Mondego river's landscape, where I came to live with my parents when I was still a child, leaving behind Tokyo, my hometown. Through the letters l've received from friends and family who remained in Japan, I recall the past and I reflect on our coming to Portugal. This film is a journey with the spirits which remain with me, in an attempt to retain the ephemeral memory. »
