About Two Girls (part I)

Ayla Spaans traces the journey into motherhood in a visual poem capturing sisters on the cusp of change

A non-verbal love story that features the slow decay of love. Lila goes to a daytime party. Shortly after arriving she finds herself overwhelmed with emotions. She feels completely overstimulated, until she meets Luca. The two fall in love and they set off on an adventure together. Each room in the house symbolises a new stage in their relationship and they get to know each other better and better.

A woman is wondering what she was wearing on the day that she killed her lover. She goes through her memory during a gathering of women who are preparing themselves for a seated dinner. These women have one thing in common; they all killed their lovers. After realising what she wore on that day, she explains that killing her lover was the only way to feel unconditional love for herself again.
