No dialogue

Each evening a girl builds a moon out of paper and hangs it where her grandmother can see it from the hospital window. The moons get larger. The room gets smaller. There is no dialogue, only a toy piano and the sound of scissors.

Lila Voss cut the film on a table in Leipzig over two years. It screens late on opening night in the Studio, then again Sunday in the Main Hall, where the paper can fill a bigger wall.
