Created with AI (bar one shot), it celebrates the nostalgia of childhood summers and the dreamlike wonder family brings to our lives.

Its unique visual language and its ability to give form to memories that were never recorded. The film blends AI-generated imagery with a very organic, almost documentary-like approach, creating something that feels both unreal and deeply familiar at the same time. It allows me to recreate moments that no longer exist, or that were never captured in the first place. Not exact reconstructions, but emotional re-creations, closer to how we remember than how things actually were. Instead of using AI for spectacle, it becomes a tool to access something intimate and subjective, like a memory that shifts, transforms, and sometimes invents itself. The viewer is not just watching a story, but entering a living memory.
