letter to bahia

there’s some lore to this one. barry’s tea, ireland’s favourite tea brand, have a rich history of iconic advertising. typically, the stories would feature an irish person who was moving away or travelling, with a box of barry’s tea ending up in a suitcase or arriving in an envelope as a nostalgic reminder of home. but we decided to take this formula and flip it on its head. in this film, we follow bruna, a young brazilian woman, as she arrives to ireland from bahia and falls in love with the country, and its quirks, in her own way.
