Based on Dexter Filkins’ resonant New Yorker article of the same name, about Marine Lu Lobello, haunted by memories of a deadly incident in Baghdad, whose journey of guilt and remorse leads him to reach out to Nora, the sole surviving member of the family he believes he may have harmed.

Follows the fraught dynamic between a lonely boy and his mother within the home that may feel more like a prison to them both.

Inspired by an actual 911 call placed during a school shooting incident in Atlanta, Georgia. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018.
