Halfway

fantasy · Short Films · english

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

The subsequent story presents a philosophical and reflective rumination on a seemingly arbitrary and obscure realm that is not devoid of its 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.
