In a world built entirely out of paper, Adam and Eve live amid advertising, propaganda and carefully crafted ideals. When Eve comes into contact with a forbidden fruit, her sense of reality slowly starts to shift. What follows is a surreal search for the line between illusion and truth, poetically questioning media, consumption and beauty standards.

When 16-year-old Charlie’s older sister, Robin, doesn’t show up for their long-awaited concert, Charlie’s gut tells her something is terribly wrong. What starts as a small worry quickly escalates into a frantic search, leading Charlie to uncover devastating truths about Robin’s life that she never could have imagined. Directed by Soraya Alicia and Simon Kieffer, How Many Miles is a student short film that tells a visually striking and emotional story of sisterhood, the search for truth and teenage resilience.
