Fragments of letters and love-lorn daydreams accompany a solitary figure as he traverses the landscape, reflecting the progression of emotion through time and space.

A light-hearted though wistful film, the voiceover features extracts from the ongoing work-in-progress 'Silly Billys', a collection of limericks and short poetic texts. The visuals originate from the Screen Archives South East (UK), found while Artist in Residence at the archive. Dating from the 1930s, the black and white film is mostly comprised of footage shot along Hadrian's Wall in the north of England.

Production of the film funded in part by Arts Council England, exhibition supported by The National Trust and English Heritage.
