What if you could edit your own heartbreak like a film?
In March 2020, an Argentine woman flees New York with her Peruvian husband for his family’s empty beach house outside of Lima, whereupon an unplanned pregnancy precipitates the destruction of her marriage. In the present, she rips the moments of this narrative from their context, and reconstructs her story to reckon with her profound feeling of loneliness and the experience of time in which it has trapped her.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references Deleuze's philosophy of difference without negation—fitting for a film where past and present refuse to oppose each other.
Shot during actual 2020 lockdown; the empty Lima beach house wasn't a set but pandemic-era reality. That liminal dread? Authentic.
