This short is an abstract exploration of the complexities of relationships and breakups. Set somewhere in New York, it draws inspiration from the late ’90s to early 2000s- a vibe that’s rogue, a little raunchy, yet grounded.

Grief doesn’t only follow physical death; it can exist within a living one. The actor wanders through the city with a phone in hand, endlessly waiting for a call from a familiar voice on the other end. Through this, we move simultaneously through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, a self-call of acceptance.

The video ends with the improvised line:
“I didn’t expect to hear from you.”
