Description

Eva van Tongeren translates a months-long correspondence between the convicted and incarcerated pedophile Thomas and herself into an audiovisual monologue. The correspondence forces them to adjust their thoughts to the rhythm of each other’s letters. His imagination takes her to deserts where westerns are recorded, to the largest trees in the world, and to the busy streets of Los Angeles.
