Winner, Best First Time Director, Short Film
Berlin Indie Film FestivalThe project
A compact drama about memory, composure, and the smallest thing becoming impossible to carry.
Still dressed for his mother's funeral, a man drives toward the overlook where they once ate ice cream together. Heat, traffic, and a melting cone make the day harder to contain.
When a police officer asks for his license and registration, the grief he has held back finally breaks through. The film stays with that rupture without judgment.
