KITCHEN [EN] 2026

Two women in a kitchen.
Some inexplicable force that keeps them in that space.
And suffocates them, yet it is impossible to talk about it. Something is missing.
We balance on the border between love and despair. Memories of things that haven’t happened yet flow intermittently between the moments we hold on to.
To be is to… I see you and you can see me.
If you leave me here, can I go with you?
