Quem me dera em vez de uma câmara ter uma mosca é uma viagem da realizadora com a sua câmara pela cidade. É um filme sobre cinema e as pessoas que nele existem, fechadas. É como uma caixa onde a realizadora guarda os objetos da sua vida, da sua história e da sua ansiedade, quase sem a abrir, um filme por fazer, rodeado de medo. Lá está a sua família deitada num jardim de pregos, o útero, a cidade onde a qualquer momento, por casualidade, se pode encontrar um monstro.

I wish instead of a camera I had a fly is a trip of the director with her camera through the city. It’s a movie about cinema and the people that are in it, trapped. It’s like a box where the director keeps the objects of her life, her story and her anxiety, almost without opening it, a movie to be made, surrounded by fear. There is her family lying in a garden of nails, the womb, the city where at any moment, by chance, you can meet a monster.
