Alejandra Gomez Pinilla – In Between – 2026 #2
by Alejandra Gomez Pinilla
In Between is a fiction short film that explores the experience of migration through an intimate and sensitive perspective. In a world increasingly shaped by displacement, exile, and the pursuit of a better future, this project aims to examine the feelings of uprootedness, nostalgia, and not belonging that often accompany the act of leaving home. The film follows a young Peruvian dancer who has recently moved to Switzerland and finds herself caught between expectations, doubts, and the desire to find her place. Through visual contrasts, sound design, and the expressive use of the body in motion, In Between experiments with different narrative forms to convey this state of being "in between" and questions what it truly means to feel at home.
