Laura Vargas

Laura moved to Taiwan to study traditional Chinese. After some time, she had to make a choice — either to go back to Spain or to keep memorizing words in the island.

Taking Margaret Tait's poem 'Northerner' as its starting point, this film reflects on the seasonal and emotional transition from winter to spring. While the poem searches for words to understand this passage, the film uses images to communicate that process of longing. From here, language becomes both theme and method.
