The interconnectedness of a bus ride in Nepal and a wedding on the shore of Quidi Vidi Lake; of the tension between a husband and wife when their infant cries before dawn (who will go to him?) and the husband's memory of an early, piercing love affair; of two friends, one who suffers early in life and the other midway through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eOpen\u003c\/em\u003e Lisa Moore splices moments and images together so adroitly, so vividly, you'll swear you've lived them yourself.
