She Had To Find Her Past To Embrace Her Future.

Drama

Ellie is a 27-year old whose life is far from where she imagined it to be. Filled with annoying friends, a self-involved boyfriend, and a career that she can’t bring herself to pursue, Ellie feels detached from her life. When she learns that her estranged alcoholic father has died, her world is disrupted and she begins a journey that takes her to a small town in Texas. While dealing with the logistical arrangements of her father’s death Ellie has to confront what happens when the structures and safety nets we build for ourselves come undone.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective journey of a young woman confronting disillusionment and the ghosts of her past. It feels like a long, thoughtful exhale, set against the backdrop of a small town where buried truths begin to surface.
