Shendy Wu, a diary

2019 · 17 min

A quiet, introspective diary film that drifts between two cities and two imagined lives, gentle and wistful.

Overview
A girl from Argentina writes a diary from Beijing. At the same time, she writes another diary--one invented--of what she would be doing if she were in Buenos Aires. Both diaries overlap while the girl, in Beijing, tries to find Shendy Wu, her best friend of childhood,a Chinese girl who lived in Buenos Aires until the age of five, before turning to China.
