Lash Gaze

Directed by Micol Merve Zaupa

With Lorenzo Pedol, Fateme Lohrasbi and Boiken Cobo

Behind neighbouring windows, two lives quietly unfold. Tom and Kate share an unusual feature: extraordinarily long eyelashes. He is a solitary artist, drawn to the intimacy of watching from afar; she moves through the world with unapologetic confidence, concealing a more private self behind closed doors. As Tom's gaze lingers on Kate, an unspoken game begins to take shape. Yet, what appears to be a solitary act of observation gradually reveals a mutual exchange. In the quiet space between watching and being watched, two strangers find an unexpected way of reaching one another , revealing a universal longing to connect, to be understood, and to exist in the eyes of someone else.
