The girls story
This tale softens the boundaries between humanity and machine, life and the afterlife. Our struggle to survive where nothing lives - when you have to fight to stay alive, it can force us to push aside our humanity. When everything becomes too much, you have to abandoned yourself.

Ava is a bored and aimless child. Her life isn’t easy growing up in the outskirt of the big city. She lives with her mother, step brother and her cat in a small apartment in a concrete social building, where nothing grows in the right direction and the wind tastes like salt. Every night she sits by her bedroom window and stares at the big city in the distance with her shivering big blue eyes. The pulsating sound and lights of the city makes an unknown desire in her to get lost, far away from here where no angels would greet her.
