Absolutely beautiful story of a mother/daughter bond. I had to use subtitles but the story was so intimately written I understood without words. The emotions the actors displayed told the story as well of the words I read on my second watch. You can literally feel the emotions as the film progresses, breathtaking!

A must see for every daughter, I think as moms we all want so much more for our children. I can't wait for my daughter to watch this short film. And, hopefully one day she will have her daughter watch it too. It says so much more than words can express.

Bravo-just beautiful Stefania!

Thank you for this little mastee piece.

This short film is nothing short of extraordinary. From beginning to end, I was invested in every little detail we were offered. The story is told with such raw honesty and it evokes so many emotions watching the tale of mother and daughter. The attention to every detail, the nuances in the story telling and the personal voiceovers demonstrate that this project was a labour of love. There is a vulnerability to the whole film that invites viewers in to fully hear the story that is being told, as well as watch it unfold. Messages from the letters are not only key to depicting the passion behind this short, but they stick with you even after it's over. There are so many lessons hidden in every crevice of this film and each time you find yourself learning something new. This project was described as a love letter and it only becomes more apparent when watching it why this is the case.

Had I not known before, I never would have guessed that this was a directional debut from Stefania Spampinato and I am very much looking forward to seeing what other masterpieces she creates behind the camera. Brava!

This short is incredible, it tells such a beautiful story of a mother and daughter. You can tell it comes from a place of love and emotion, the message behind it is so heartbreakingly true. It's been treated with such care and passion and truly encapsulates how it feel to be so far away from the people you love. The letters play such a key part on the meaning, and an important message of never forgetting who you are regardless of the relationships and friendships you find yourself in. I hope to see more of Stefania Spampinato behind the camera. This truly is Stefania's love letter from herself to her Sicily and her mamma <3.

At first watch, even for the casual observers who haven't followed up on the story behind this short film, you're encapsulated by the views and landscapes the film brings forward. The cinematography brings the setting to life and does justice to the director's vision of making it a personal watch that pulls at the heartstrings and makes every second worth the watch. Stefania made sure the short film keeps you captivated and ensured that the camera caught the little details that speak a thousand words. If you've been keeping up with the short film, fans will know that it's a personal story to the director, Stefania Spampinato's life, and the feelings which come with telling your story are so vividly described you're left with tears by the end. Her voiceover has to be the cherry on top of the cake for me, such a calming presence that makes you want to rewatch the short film constantly. Stefania opened and poured her heart out to the world via Zita Sempri and it couldn't have been an easy thing to do, yet despite it all she brought the love story to life and gave us all a whole different meaning to pure love. The film carries sensitive details and highlights the importance of a mother daughter relationship. None of which could have been possible with our favourite Director, Miss Spampinato. Forever proud of her and so glad the world gets to see her artistic vision through her lens.
