Lauranne Leunis
About
A photographic film in which Lauranne explores her connection with the girls she encounters during her stay abroad. During their nightly coastal walks and swimming sessions, she makes their personalities and the landscape come to life. Lauranne has the feeling she will remember her time here but the country will forget her. She tries to leave her mark by capturing it by taking pictures of girls/non-binary people who are experiencing the same struggle with young adulthood.
