Sinopsis
Aita was originally written as an epistolary film. I shot many scenes in which the security guard read real family letters. During the editing process I ruled out these scenes. When we came up with the idea of including one of the first cuts as DVD bonus material, I rewrote a fictional letter and included it in a rawer edit that cut out all the characters except the guard and the house.
