Girlfriend  - 🇺🇸

by Matheo Ernesto

"'In a small town suspended between highways and fading memories, a solitary man named Elias spends his days photographing empty parking lots and forgotten motels. One afternoon, he receives a postcard with no return address—just the word “Girlfriend” and a photograph of a woman he doesn’t remember but feels he’s always known. Drawn by the quiet mystery, Elias begins a slow journey across rural landscapes and fractured cities, chasing traces of a past love that may never have existed."
