Experiencing Interruptions?

September

September is a tense, emotional drama that explores the complexities of love, regret, and the choices that define relationships. Set in a single hotel room, the film follows Quincy and Semar, two former lovers who reconnect in secret despite being in committed relationships. As they confront their past, the weight of their choices comes crashing down, forcing them to question whether they should let go of their old selves and move forward or cling to a connection that’s no longer sustainable. Through intimate conversations and silences, September captures the pain of unresolved emotions and the struggle between holding on and letting go.
