The Image of you
The Image of You weaves together the themes of love and memory in the spirit of New Wave cinema. It’s a story of a couple, Lilja and Laura, who have recently broken up. To find some peace of mind, Lilja wants to discuss the past relationship with Laura. But the women’s memories differ, and the conversation and flashbacks from their past intertwine into an enigmatic puzzle. Who gets to decide what is the truth? Was their love ever true even though it ended?
