Henry is a Girl Who Likes to Sleep
“Dear Henry, I love you, and I love who I am when I am with you, with our small heads and our constant longing for sleep, or at least for a horizontal life.” The filmmaker seeks in her beloved cat Henry something soft and tender to inhabit, a little fur to retreat into. Between bedsheets and freckles, a love declaration emerges. This fragile collage traces a pathway between intimacy, vulnerability, and warmth. An ode to the intimate worlds where we learn to live and to rest.
