The voiceover is reading a letter that he never writes down, covering the topic of memory and death, time and space, border issues, culture and language, lost and found. I discusses the dialectical relationship between presence and absence by introducing a script which blurs the gaps between facts and fiction and exploring the concept of unreliable narrator. The direct use of language contrasts with the lack of image content of the short film.
