Borderline

2021 · 80 min

A slow, inward spiral of longing and fixation that feels like watching someone lose themselves in a memory they can't quite hold.

Overview
Craving that girl she was never able to replace and seeking inspiration in her presence, or absence, or rather fantasy, a troubled writer embarks on a stormy journey of love, passion and potentially perdition.
