The Wait
Directed by M. Blash
A darkly surreal family drama that uses magical thinking and denial to explore grief, mortality, and the desperate human need to resist loss.
An enigmatic phone call from a psychic catapults a family into a state of suspended belief while waiting for their recently deceased mother to be resurrected.
