Learning softness
A short style documentary exploring the world of two Berlin-based fashion designers and their shared brand ESSAI. This three-minute art doc is not a traditional documentary, but rather a visual impression — a quiet observation of process, closeness, and atmosphere. It captures fragments of everyday moments, textures, gestures, and the emotional tone behind the brand.
The film offers a brief glimpse into a creative relationship and the environment it grows from, focusing on softness, confidence, and presence rather than narrative structure.
