Synopsis:

A poetic exploration of a love story, of a widower that is going through the lonely journey of coming to terms with the sudden loss of his wife.

Review by Andie Karvelis:

We all know the pain of losing someone close to us. Someone that we love. A person so important to us that when they pass, it’s as if a piece of you went with them. We struggle with processing our grief, all the memories and that ache in our chest that won’t stop.

Writer/Director Eleana Theophilou has created an empathetic film about love, loss and the grievin process. The black and white cinematography fit this piece so well. Cleverly adding in some special effects showing the sea rolling backwards helped tell the story of a husband who lost his wife. Eleana also creatively added in text panes, asking questions and then giving answers so the audience envisioned a preternatural conversation between the couple.

The score was done by Lazaros Hajiandonis and it was really beautiful. It helped complete the emotional connection between viewer and film. This was also performed by Eleana and Paul Mason. On screen they both had such a fantastic rapport, very believable that they were a couple and married for years. Such a poetic look at love, life and loss.
