Flood Plain

The many dynamics that define the familial space are often marked by both passion and nuance, by extremes of emotions and the control and hindsight that follow in their aftermath. It is these two characteristics that find an echo in the film as well. With the voices of two characters coupled with still frames of open spaces and nature, along with the suggestion of perhaps them being an embodiment of the story unfolding on screen, the narrative moves forth.

The film is concise, marked by a frugality of dialogue and a deliberate inactivity to instil in the viewer an intended quiet that is often the same as the calm that follows an upheaval. The plot wants to traverse these several points, all the while adopting and maintaining an experimental approach.

The story operates within the space of metaphors and things left unsaid, sometimes even at the cost of lucidity it could have otherwise benefited from. On the whole, however, the final result exhibits potential, the desire to express and a personality in its vision to achieve the same.
