THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN
short movie, 03:58’ (2022)
The story of a young woman, who assimilates her psychic shadow
through the confrontation with the emotional trauma from the past.
While experiencing the spectrum of her innocent youthfulness,
she reflects on chosen ex-lover and learns the consequences
of her unconscious decision-making.
Throughout the story, we observe different representations of female archetypes
and their subordination to a specific spectrum of events.
Their helpful, transformative characteristics are offered naturally
to the main character. The presence of animals serves as the personification
of strong human desires - often driving their subconscious action
(horse - sexual drive; fish - dreaminess).
