Charles, a Frenchman from Montpellier, sells his camcorder. Ignacio, an Argentine film director visiting France, buys this camera. Upon opening it, he discovers that Charles’s videos have not been erased and he sees in them a potential worldwide adventure film. They begin an epistolary relationship in which Charles, perhaps without even realizing it, writes the words of the film behind the footage. This is a film about romantic relationships, neverending travels, distant armed conflicts, loneliness, and the company of our loved ones.

Declaration
film director
“On a trip to France that I made in late 2019 I bought a used handycam online. My intention was to have a record of that trip, to keep a sort of diary. When I connected the camera to the computer for the first time and discovered all those videos, I immediately knew I was going to do something with them. From there I began a long process of reflection and experimentation with the material, which extended over the long year of quarantine. There was something in the gaze of that mysterious person in the videos that attracted me enormously. We glimpsed in those homemade images the possibility of depicting adventures, travels, love misunderstandings and political conflicts.”
