THE GHOSTS WE LEFT AT HOME
Short | Fiction | 20 min | Arri Amira | 1:2
The calm after the storm, the little rituals of boredom and emptiness, the apathy, the comfort of the constant, and the sedation of the senses.
‘The Ghosts We Left at Home’ is a raw and intimate portrayal of a man in grief, and a city on fire, doomed and in exile, and sinking to hit rock bottom. It plays in the margin of reality, where forces of the masculine and the feminine alternate, merge, attract and repel.
