SYNOPSIS

A young woman, hurt from a bike fall, triggers a portal to another dimension while trying to hold back tears. This starts her journey to cope with her father's death and express bottled-up emotions. Falling into a multiverse, she disrupts engineer Vincent's rocket launch and his fear of failure, causing a chain reaction that impacts trans man Billie, on the way to top surgery. Unaware of their connection, the trio subtly helps each other connect with their emotions, forming an intertwined narrative of understanding and letting go.

INTENTION

My dad died when I was 6 years old. For quite some time, I did not understand the impact of this event. From my teenage years, I struggled with expressing my emotions, while trying to keep a lot inside. Just recently, while going to therapy, I understood that my childhood trauma is related to my closed personality and all the anger I kept inside. One session of "family constellations" helped me understand that all this time I was mad that dad left me, even though I thought that I did not care anymore. Therapy and research allowed me to understand my dad’s trauma more deeply, and to finally say goodbye to him as it should have been done 20 years ago.

I see similarities in the hidden feelings many people experience, even though they might appear different on the outside. It could appear as being cold, insincere, or imitating confidence. This project inspires me to explore emotions and advocate for accepting all kinds of feelings. I believe if more people allowed themselves to express their emotions freely, it could foster deeper connections and create a positive impact on how we relate to ourselves and others.
