C’est à travers la correspondance cinématographique entre deux cinéastes cubaines que s’articule ce documentaire autobiographique. Patricia et Heidi sont des amies d’enfances. Leur émigration vers l’Europe les sépara pendant plus de 15 ans. En rassemblant leurs souvenirs et en partageant les expériences de leurs vies actuelles à l’étranger, ces femmes tentent de se raconter et de se retrouver à travers la réalisation de ce film. Le résultat est un voyage émotionnel intime évoquant l’amitié, le pardon, la migration, la maternité, et les frontières. Leur histoire révèle les défis, les racines, et les parcours d’une génération entière.

This is an autobiographical documentary created through the audiovisual correspondence between two emigrated Cuban filmmakers. Patricia and Heidi have been best friends since their childhood. Migrating to Europe separated them for 15 years. By reconstructing memories from home and sharing experiences of their current lives in foreign countries, these women try to find themselves and each other again in their filmmaking practice. The result is an intimate emotional journey about friendship, forgiveness, displacement, motherhood, and border crossings. Their story reflects the challenges, roots, and routes of an entire generation.
