The road to acceptance lies not within trying to hold on to the past, but in letting go of the future.
PLOT
The remnants of the broken, intense and pure relationship between Eleonor and Finn leave nothing but a trail of heartache and pain behind. The idea of his return keeps her in blissful hope. What if that hope is met with Finn himself? She’s confused but ready to fully submerge herself into his presence once again. Is he really there, or is this all merely an illusion to fill the void he once left behind?
A poetic short film about loss, heartache, longing and the road to acceptance. A broken heart is a treacherous thing that needs time to heal. The road to acceptance can be long and hard, and you don’t have to move on or find someone new, especially not right away. It is important to feel and let it in: Heartache is a form of mourning. It takes time.
