The Story of Everything (2018)
Narrative-ish short film
Separated as children, Lorraine is on a lifelong, desperate search for her former foster brother. After a tense encounter with a stranger named Marcus, the two embark on a road trip, each searching for something undefinable. Their pasts and their futures blend, time becomes fluid and dream-logic takes over. During their journey, bits of conversation hint at an intimacy, and possibly a subconscious bond. Are they strangers at all? Will they find what they are looking for?
The Story of Everything is a surreal journey where the emotional connection between two children allow them to communicate through fever dreams throughout their lives.
Score by Brandon Evans.
