THE TEARS OF THINGS

In Development | Feature | Canada

SYNOPSIS
A grieving swimmer moves to a quiet city, hoping to heal. When her hard drive crashes, erasing every digital trace of her father and homeland, she embarks on a journey that takes her from the pool to the ocean, from the past to the present, and from grief to gratitude. Her path is complicated by a bond with an elderly man who resembles her father, an unlikely romance, and a chance to revisit her past through immersive technology.
