Country: UK
Year: 1993
Duration: 20''
A woman with "no name and no country" in search of a sense of belonging. Asked to write a script about her own experience, she constructs an "autobiography", which is partly fake. A photographer - who's never touched a camera. A peepshow girl - who's never worked in one. A screenwriter - who's never written dialogue. Meanwhile, her unsent letters to her father echo the questions every migrant asks: "Why am I here" and " When am I going back?".
