If you could mix 90’s culture into a jewellery brand low budget fashion film, what would come out of this? Inspired by David Lynch Twin Peaks film, Laura is missing. James is looking for her. But all he has are some random visual memories from her and her voice. Mystical elements introduce a metaphysical dimension to the story, where dreams, visions, and spiritual forces are as real and influential as the physical world. By Dream Logic and Surrealism we find a Duality between two characters that are never seen together. Two souls entwined, one blessed, one reversed.

What if G.K. Chesterton met Albert Einstein, sharing his reflections on the fundamental building blocks that compose every complex structure in the Universe?
G.K. Chesterton, the English author, philosopher, and Christian apologist, was known for his “orthodox Christian” stance and his paradoxical wit, earning him the title “Prince of Paradox.” Albert Einstein, the theoretical physicist and one of history’s most influential scientists, is best known for his theory of relativity and his late-life quest for a Theory of Everything—though it ultimately eluded him. Despite their differences, both shared a deep sense of humor.
In this film, we visually intertwine concepts from General Relativity, String Theory, and philosophical principles, using Portuguese filigree jewelry as a rich metaphor.
These intricate jewels, crafted from many fine threads, reflect the film’s theme: that beauty and complexity are woven from countless delicate strands—an analogy to the unseen “strings” that may underpin reality.
The story unfolds through Chesterton’s voice, as if in a letter to Einstein. His thoughtful narration accompanies visuals of two characters, a brunette girl embodying Chesterton and a blonde girl as Einstein, representing the duality of particles and antiparticles, bringing both tension and harmony.
As the narration unfolds, viewers are invited to reflect deeply, engaging with the film’s mood, symbolism, and paradoxes. The final scene offers a playful glimpse into the humor cherished by both thinkers, adding a touch of lightness to the profound.
A mix of paradoxes. Everything we see and feel is made by strings, or not…

It starts with a single thread. We zigzag through moments, between what’s hidden and what’s revealed. The process of Stitch and turn is explained visually to the viewer. Making a shoe inside out. In this film we follow Emily, the experimental dance artist, in a performance, explaining this process. We uncover the tools, the faces, the small gestures of care—hands that turn the world inside out, revealing something new, something that feels like a song you’ve known forever. A shoe, yes, but also a testament to what we leave behind in everything we touch. Two sides are revealed, inside and out, process and feeling. It’s a visual poem but a tribute to dance artists.
