Ava's Impossible Things

The story

Sheltered Ava is thrown off balance when her mother makes a shocking request, and her grip on reality begins to slip. As the pressure at home mounts, she retreats into a dream world where old friends reappear and long-forgotten desires come back into view. Chloe Farnworth is at the center of Ava’s inner retreat, with Susan Duerden in the family conflict that pushes her further from ordinary life. The film moves between domestic strain and surreal fantasy, keeping close to Ava as memory, longing, and imagination start to overtake the present.
