The visitor, a silent figure incorporated by the filmmaker, roams through three mega-cities, creating wordless encounters with random people, following a dramaturgy of chance both with the choice of the protagonist as well as with the outcome of each story. First simply attendant, she becomes an intruder, friend and even loved one who shares the daily life of her protagonists, their sleeping places and their worries. Through this new presence in their life, the loneliness of these different people becomes apparent; but as the relation intensifies, the border between “I” and “the other” starts to blur.
