Rak

2026 · 19 min

A quiet, inward drift through memory and loss, asking patience as it lingers on what can no longer be seen.

Directed by
Ryan Kevin Doyle
Overview
Having gone blind, Rak returns to live with Elsa, his ex-wife. Faced with a reality he cannot see, he slowly withdraws into the memory of what is no more. The poetic emancipation of a bird in its cage.
How it feels
