Last Breakfast

Last Breakfast is a heartfelt drama about guilt, loss, and the courage to heal. Chris in his thirties living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, is haunted by the death of his wife Jane, caused by one of his darker alters. Lost and broken, he longs for the warmth she once brought to his mornings.

One night, Chris encounters Steve, a cross-dressing man brutalized on the streets and standing on the edge of a bridge, ready to let go. Chris saves him, and in the quiet aftermath, the two men share stories of childhood pain and trauma. Through this unexpected bond, Chris begins to make peace with himself. As he prepares Jane’s final breakfast, his twelve alters quietly disappear, no longer needed to protect him.

Director Statement

Last Breakfast is the second film in my trilogy, A Journey to Self-Healing. Inspired by The Last Supper, the film reimagines the twelve apostles as the twelve alters of a man living with Dissociative Identity Disorder—figures who protect him while also betraying him.

Growing up around family and friends living with long-term mental illness shaped my desire to listen to these inner voices. The film is driven by dialogue and a surreal visual language, using color to distinguish time and space—between dreams and reality, past and present.

The film explores the belief that we heal ourselves by saving others. Healing is portrayed as an ongoing dialogue between fractured parts of the self.

Through a poetic yet grounded tone, Last Breakfast invites audiences to reflect on identity, choice, and the quiet possibility of healing.
