Human communication is a thorny
endeavor. No matter what our messages are, no matter how
difficult it is to get them accross, we all share one
desire: to be understood. But what happens when we
aren't understood?
This thirty-minute digital
film features four segments of directed improvisation
that investigate a few of the ways in which people
argue.
In "Babble," a young literary couple
masks true feelings with metaphor. "Abuse" features
a young woman's descent into domestic violence.
Familial love and support is put to the test in
"Discourse." The film ends with "Silence," an
introspective tale that unfolds after words are no
longer useful.
