Director's notes
After spending my childhood in my father's glass shop, glass became a familiar material, which represents a refuge, but one of the most fragile I know. My memory is a treasure that, like glass, fragments. The Glazier's Daughter is a short film that makes sense from its materialization: going back to my father's workshop to rediscover those forgotten treasures, going through the glass to get closer to them and face my greatest fear: the passage of time.
