This fable about light and its mysteries focuses on two girlfriends. Stella is an astronomer, Lucia is a saleswoman in a lamp shop. They only know each other from an exchange of letters. When Stella is killed, Lucia, who feels a great void after this tragic news, goes looking for her guardian angel. Karen Vanderborght worked on short films and several theatre and dance shows and has made a number of installations, performances, films and videos.
