Ruth

2024 · 22 min

A quiet, aching plunge into grief and outsiderness, where language barriers and unfamiliar faces sharpen every attempt to mourn.

Overview
The year 2000. Maya, a young Londoner, goes to the small village of her Spanish girlfriend, Ruth, who has just died in an accident. She wants to say goodbye, but the shock and anxiety of presenting herself as the “foreign girlfriend” to family and friends she doesn't know and who speak a different language, is compounded by the perplexity of discovering that nobody knows who she is.
