“THE SPACE BETWEEN US” is a visual essay by Zhihan Zhang directed by Saulius Baradinskas

“In his quiet studio, David finds a sweater with rings that stir memories. Slipping one on, he's drawn into a surreal dance with ghostly hands beneath a starry sky, ending with a whispered secret and bittersweet solitude.”
