A Little Ballad (1998, 16mm, 8min)

A Little Ballad portrays the different perspectives between a mother and her daughter who share escapism with the radio. The mother, who sits at the kitchen table enjoying her beer, uses the radio as a way to remember her past. The daughter, who dances in her room looking at images of people and landscapes, uses the radio to dream about her future.
