Visual poem based on a poem that in turn is formed by lived experiences of Sanda, author and protagonist, which expresses the unease to go towards a future from the perspective of crossing an arid past.

Two minutes of visual-poetic hand-wringing about the future—it's formally respectable but plays it safe, the kind of introspective essay that wins nods at the right festivals without actually *rupturing* anything.
Ramos and Rauret position this lived-experience poem within the lineage of feminist essay cinema and lyric documentary, where form mirrors the unease of the subject; the constraint of two minutes becomes the formal argument itself—austere and deliberate.
The choice to ground abstraction in Sanda's actual voice and presence—letting her embodied witness carry the visual abstraction rather than subsume it—is what keeps this from dissolving into pure mood; that friction between the personal and the poetic is where the economy of the piece lives.
