What’s worth remembering? Who decides what is worthy of remembrance? Through images shot at the beginning of the 20th century by women filmmakers, the director questions her references, what she has been taught and passed on. Between past and present, memories and omissions, the audience (re)discovers women who have made cinema what it is today. A sensorial and poetic journey that takes the spectator back to its own knowledge and personal and social constructions.

Leaving for Myanmar in 2020, the filmmaker could not have anticipated the upheaval the country was on the verge of experiencing. Through the darkness of the Covid-19 epidemic and the violent coup d’état orchestrated by the military junta, a light continues to shine: that of 17-year-old Zu Zu and her steadfast dream of a better future for her loved ones. A four-handed diary and chronicle of a friendship.
