A triptych telling the story of one woman’s relationship with love and how it has been shaped by her relationship with her eccentric father.
A delicate soundtrack, shifting in texture to match the tryptic structure of the film, with particular attention put on the foley to create an almost haptic feel to the intimate narrative.
We experimented with a non-linear workflow, where a sonic storyboard was created in pre-production to weave the sound design into the fabric of the film.
