Barren

2018 · 21 min

A quiet, numbing walk through grief, more felt than explained, leaving you in the character's hollow stillness.

Overview
Barren tells the story of a young mother named Charley, who experiences trauma and loss. Instead of pushing through her grief and facing the realities of her new world, she decides instead to pack a single bag and abandon everything. This movie follows our lead character as she numbly picks a direction - and simply walks.
