THE PLACE BETWEEN WAS & WILL BE

After his grandfather is diagnosed with dementia, the filmmaker conducts a ritual of anticipatory grief in his grandparents' abandoned summer house.

By using the concept of liminality to explore the house's past, present and uncertain future, he aims to slow down the moment of a big change and open a discourse his family avoids to have.
