Sore Afraid

2020 · 11 min

A quiet, watchful short that settles into one woman's solitude and the small rituals that keep her going.

Overview
Nuala hasn’t got a lot on now Marie is gone. Never one to dwell, instead she’s taken to watching her neighbours across the road do that thing they insist on doing at their window. And as the days and weeks roll on, she becomes sure that joy is on its way for everyone.
