This Other Winter
In the streets of a small seaside town frozen over by winter winds, two women search for each other and escape. Nina, the girl, guided by an emergency. Lili, the resigned mother. A twenty-year-long silence, erected like a wall, leaves them strangers. But what binds them together, such as the choice Nina is about to make, resonates powerfully in the story she shares with Lili.
