Waves Won’t Stop (Aenaa Kymata)

An experimental documentary in which the narrator evokes his childhood memories of Cyprus, and his connection to an indelible friendship defined by separation. Through vivid recollections of their lost bond, he explores themes of longing, belonging, and on the enduring pull of his homeland that shaped them both.
