based on writer-director Pohl's recollection of her upbringing

"Even when I'm in the purgatory fire

"Before I became an artist there were times in my life
when I felt totally unable to communicate.
Cecilia's cassette recorder is like my own fragmented, often silenced voice.
Cecilia is a story about failed communication."
(Anna Valeska Pohl)
