BEAUTY - FULL

17 views

An intimate portrait of a woman caught between desire and doubt, this film explores the quiet weight of beauty and the invisible expectations that come with it. Through close moments and inner fractures, the film unfolds as a whispered confession, one that asks what remains when beauty is no longer enough, and whether being oneself could finally be a form of freedom.

biography

My work is shaped by distance, by travel, by people and places that leave traces rather than answers. I seek a cinema that feels more than it explains, where light, rhythm, and breath carry meaning as much as silences. Filmmaking, for me, is a way to stay close to what moves us.
