A Name Written in Water

2021 · 14 min

Quiet, melancholy and intimate, it lingers like a held breath before an ending, tender and unsettling at once.

Overview
On the last day of the earth’s life, Greta, a shy and introverted girl decides to upset its certainties. She decides to spend the remaining few hours together with strangers, on the bank of a lake, completely naked. These are the best moments of her life, however, she chooses to terminate its existence alone, as it has always been.
