Grief (2019)
Director
The grieving process after losing a loved one is often divided into five stages; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. It allows people that lose a loved one to outlet emotions that would otherwise intensify internally and have potentially worse consequences later in life.
Grief is a postdramatic research about the consequences of a significant loss and the need for a complete life re-evaluation. A couple of fragile men find themselves voiceless, stranded on a nostalgic carpet in a familiar living room. They experience the five stages of grief without saying a single word as they come to terms with a new era in their existence as men.
