Missing

2009 · 12 min

A quiet, watchful short that makes an ordinary school morning feel weighted, letting small gestures carry an unspoken sadness.

Overview: A 7-year old girl is taken to school by her mother. Today is the day that the young girl will go on a school trip with her class. In everything we feel that bringing her daughter to school isn’t a very ordinary occasion for the mother.
