Difference & Repetition, 2020(2025)

Difference & Repetition is a 2020 film that weaves together two timelines to explore displacement and emotional rupture. An Argentine woman flees New York with her Peruvian husband in March 2020, seeking refuge at his family's beach house near Lima. An unplanned pregnancy unravels their marriage, leaving her stranded in a foreign country. Years later, she reconstructs fragmented moments from that period, pulling them free from their original context to examine the loneliness that consumed her and the strange, suspended quality of time itself. The film moves between past and present, using memory and repetition to interrogate how we make sense of our own stories. It's a meditation on exile, intimacy, and the ways trauma reshapes our understanding of lived experience.
