What happens when intimacy ceases to be a private realm and becomes a space of observation? What forms can the encounter between two strangers take when the camera remains, patient, in the room? The third session proposes an approach to the fragility, the awkwardness and also the strange tenderness that can arise when two bodies meet for the first time. With a precise and surprisingly discreet gaze, Jan Soldat observes how the limits of the body, time and intimacy are negotiated. Amid silences, questions and moments of waiting, an uncertain choreography of an encounter is revealed, where everything remains to be defined.
