Solace
Wright Timo
Solace is an experimental short film about the necessity of grief, an ode to sadness. The film comprises of different people crying in front of the camera. No explanation for their sorrow is given. Through this shared experience the viewers can have a cathartic moment that cleans them from any sorrow they might be carrying at the moment.
