Nadea and Svetlana emigrated to Bologna from Moldavia a few years earlier. They are different ages but they share the same need to find work to help their families. When thirty-one-year-old Svetlana, who has found a sort of mother-figure in Nadea, finally receives the documents she needs so she can return home and see her daughter, who was left with her grandmother when she was only three years old, the two manage to maintain their close friendship, despite the distance. But this isn’t the right moment yet for Svetlana to stay put.

Declaration
film director
“I love movies that are made of significant details and images that can register the universe of people in a synesthetic manner, revealing their inner selves. This is why I decided not to film the arrival hug, but rather the wake-up hug, after their first nights together. What I was looking for is a sensorial image able to reflect an intimate atmosphere, regardless of the gaze: the sound of the sheets, the sweetness of the whispered words, the smell of the yawns, the warmth of the hugs, the corporeality of the tickling.”
