Looking, and looking again. A film about almost meeting someone.

Follow a glance through a city

A man returns to Strasbourg years after glimpsing a woman named Sylvia, and the film becomes a quiet study of looking, memory and the strangers we almost meet. Almost wordless, it trains you to notice faces in cafés and light on stone. A small, generous film about the act of noticing. Watch it before a walk through any city.
