"The person you need isn't me." A psychological relationship drama exploring the fragile boundaries between intimacy and fear.
Two people struggle to stay close as trust gives way to doubt. This short film captures a performed fictional scene, moving through memories of loss, impossible promises, and a final request for warmth. It is an examination of the spaces where we try to hold on even as we pull away.
The narrative is built on the tension of performance, stripping back dialogue to focus on bodies and the quiet weight of presence. By exploring the delicate interplay of memory, the film asks what happens when the people we lean on are the ones we are most afraid to lose.
