Halfway

Two women are located at the heart of a circuitous reality. As they try to figure out what this strange realm holds for them, and their fate hangs in the balance, a liminal space between life and death comes into existence. The film further develops to reveal that the laws of time and space do not exist here.

The subsequent story presents a philosophical and reflective rumination on a seemingly arbitrary and obscure realm that is not devoid of the memory, or perhaps an echo, no matter how faint, of what it was to have once loved and be loved in return.

The characters are portrayed with an unmissable sincerity as the viewer follows them on their path. The final result is engaging, atmospheric, and makes notable use of a physical space to rope in fantasy, symbolism, and a strong voice that should be explored in longer storytelling endeavors with similar themes.
