The wind is a constant in the desert and this was etched in my memory.
It slipped underneath my skin, it rumbled and rustled in my ears, it hindered me while I was filming, it creaked under my teeth.
The scene with the fabric and the wind on Zagreb’s Sava embankment is a nostalgic memory of the desert wind.
The fabric which I wrap around myself is a gift and a memory of meeting people I have grown very fond of.
