“Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.” Joan Didion
When a loved one leaves us, how do we cope with the void they leave behind?
Five shorts show us that the one thing we cannot do is escape it. Looking into the great beyond, in search of the departed, what we often end up finding is ourselves - or each other. A group of old friends laugh and joke their way through their grief. Two cousins bicker endlessly over their grandmother’s ashes. A lone filmmaker searches high and low for projects to bury himself in instead of facing his loss. We may have been left behind, but we’re all in this together.
