    paper You don't know how I love you

    Graduation project. A fairytale-like analog animated film about loneliness and bodily autonomy. The film is set in an abandoned forest in winter. Ulla is looking for life. What does she do when she can’t find any? To what extent can you decide how close you can get to another’s body? “You don’t know how I love you” examines how crossing a body’s physical boundaries can hail from a place of care or self-interest.
