“The Willoughbys” Finds Light in the Darkness
A dark film in the tradition The Brother’s Grimm.

A reflection on the predicament of confinement within the domestic environment, stemming from found correspondence of a woman, dating between 1975 and 1980. Through shared points of reference and the embodiment of the above-mentioned state, the process of this work became an intergenerational dialogue with the stranger character. However, in Arrival, the narrative departs from the archived and imagines rather than a state of paralysis, the discontinuation of a cycle. Upon the character’s decision to leave her home and embark on a journey to an archipelago nearby, the island of her destination sucks her in as she merges into the wind.
