Dust

While organising her mother's funeral, a young woman (25) is confronted with the presence of her mother's assistant (35), who had a close relationship with the deceased.
She is torn between jealousy and grief as she deals with the bureaucracy and the many decisions that need to be made.

Director Statement

Grief is a personal and transformative experience. It's never what you expect. For me, making this film is about showing the variety of emotions that come with the grieving process.
