A successful writer of children's books, Stephen Lewis is confronted with the unthinkable—he loses his only child, four-year-old Kate, in a supermarket. In one horrifying moment that replays itself over the years that follow, Stephen realises his daughter is gone. Kate's absence sets Stephen and his wife on diverging paths as both struggle with an all-consuming grief.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A profound meditation on grief and marital fracture that uses time's fluidity to explore how loss fundamentally unmoors us from ourselves and each other. This is a film about the weight of absence rather than the mechanics of searching.
