based on sonnet xvii by Pablo Neruda
Based on the poem by Pablo Neruda, Sonnet XVII explores our experience of memory, love, loss, and longing. Following through a rural landscape, the film plays with how we remember details, moments, sounds; the flash as our senses make a connection, and the path it creates deep in the mind's eye.
