Experiencing Interruptions?

Too Late

Late at night, young Michael escapes his parents’ escalating argument and retreats to the rooftop, where he meets Ginny. It’s too late for children to be out — and perhaps too late in more ways than one.

Director Statement

Too Late explores the emotional weight of unresolved family conflict. Rather than focusing on violence itself, the film observes the quiet consequences that emerge when tension is ignored for too long.
