A chance encounter with a stranger at the airport sends Aya (Sarah Adler – FOXTROT; JELLYFISH, SJFF 2008) on an odyssey to reignite her spark. Her fleeting encounters build gently to a climactic end making language superfluous when the yearning body supplies all the communication necessary. Based on an Oscar-nominated short. View Trailer >>
