In his fourth short film, Iain Delavan examines profound feelings and experiences. In this expressive display of carefully crafted scenes and poetic dialogue, two characters lament about traumatic events in their past.

This experimental short film by Iain Delavan serves as an abstract, yet harrowing expression of his struggles with Post-traumatic stress disorder, due to his repeated childhood sexual abuse. Iain was diagnosed with PTSD in March of 2022, and this film boldly represents the continued battles that Iain must face every day, such as severe depression, self-harm, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, suicidal ideations, and other painful symptoms.
