Before Dust Returns

Short Film – Drama

2023

Before Dust Returns is a sombre, melancholy, cryptic story where a woman makes a realisation about her source of inner peace, and the process is as surreal as the destination is unexpected.

We follow Eve as she goes on this personal journey of discovery.
