The Encounter
SYNOPSIS
A young woman returns to her empty childhood home and is confronted with memories in which her late mum was always there for her. She manages to bat the memories away, but only up to a point.
It is a lyrical film about the powerful feeling that seemingly completely insignificant objects from our childhood evoke in us.
