Short film for the EYE RESEARCH Lab

Desiring someone/somebody/something, but knowing there is a certain ‘wall’ between you and the object of desire.

And also enjoying this element vice versa, being visible and being the element of desire.

And what happens when that wall falls away?

Are the fascination and the fantasy underneath sometimes better than reality itself?
