Ferryman

When distance keeps her from her grandmother’s bedside, Lookpla — a young Thai mother — longs for a goodbye left unsaid. Through staged, improvised scenes shaped by the cast’s actual memories, this meditative hybrid short examines how we revisit and reinterpret our memories to move forward through loss.

In a world where every day could be your last, Theo, a young survivor, still grapples with the loss of his little brother. When Lucía, a resilient Hispanic woman, insists on joining him for the solemn ritual of burning her friend’s body, Theo reluctantly steps out of his isolated routine. As they journey through the desolate Australian bush, they realize that forging human connections may be their last hope in the midst of desolation.
