NETHERLANDS: actors (m), 30-35, Dutch spkrs, for short film in Rhenen [E]
For a low budget short film entitled Memorabilia.
Synopsis: The pregnant Isa is busy clearing out the family home where her father recently passed away. She is surprised by a visit from her terminally ill mother, with whom she has had little contact since childhood. The relationship between them turns out to be alienated and superficial. Mother and Isa together empty the house, and are painfully reminded of the divorce that broke up the family. Isa decides to no longer put the past in boxes, and to discuss the years of unspoken feelings. In vain. Her mother is unable to change and clings to her perception of the past. Isa has to let go of her mother. Only then can she look forward hopefully and look back without regret. Only those who can look back can look ahead.
1 day of shooting in mid May.
