Declaration
film director
“When we left for this unusual honeymoon, we had a few clear ideas in mind and a lot of uncertainties. We were aware of what we were leaving behind, but we were also looking forward to getting lost as soon as possible. We had a lot of thoughts in our head (not always comforting), and camera and pen in our hands. Bon voyage!”
