SISTER MOTHER LOVER CHILD

  • Synopsis


    Logline:
    A house of women adjusts to life in the aftermath of an event unnamed.

    Statement:
    It is spring yet all is coloured by a season of grief. A child dances, the grapevine ripens. We press our ears to the glass and hear singing from afar. Suspended, together, we are an unlikely constellation. I hold the frame until I find the form. Sister mother lover child.
