The filmSynopsis
Dr. Betty Benway wakes disoriented in her own home to find Lila Roberts, a former patient, waiting for her. Lila has lost everything, and she has come back with grief, rage and unfinished business. Over one long confrontation in a single house, the line between therapist and patient breaks down, and both women are forced to face what they have lost and how far each is willing to go. A tense two-hander from writer and director Peter Koevari, in which reality shifts beneath the audience's feet.
In his wordsDirector's statement
This film was an intimate deep dive into the psychology of someone who has lost it all and hit the deepest depths of despair, and how far they are willing to go, but also in someone whose world comes crashed down around them and loses all sense of control. Both women lose it all, but the dynamics, values, and way they see the world… is challenged.
We kept this as mostly shot in one location and to focus heavily on the main story, delivering a high tension story, and a shift in reality for audiences to discover.
