The Holding

Synopsis

Grieving the loss of her lover, a young woman is stranded in a relentless wilderness. In this place where memory and survival blur, she encounters a future version of herself living out of a rusted car, digging a grave in which to bury her younger self: a desperate ritual aimed at conjuring the presence of the lover she cannot release. As the two versions of herself battle for dominance, the woman is confronted with the choice to break free and move forward – or, by remaining bound to grief, to become as untamed and unforgiving as the landscape that surrounds her.
