RIVER TAKE ME
Short film | 19 minutes
a TaMa Film production | in association with Meganohzz and Peacock Film
Over the course of one long, wintry day, two very different women struggle to salvage their troubled relationship.
Liv and Emilia wake in their idyllic home to a national tragedy, forcing the couple to confront the crumbling foundations of their own relationship. Where jealousy, mistrust and control permeate the impeccable but claustrophobic space, River Take Me offers a meditative reflection on whether we should try to cleanse the past or have it flow peacefully along the present.
