AELLA embodies the essence of the wind—restless, elusive, and perpetually in motion. Driven by a deep-seated fear of stillness, she seeks refuge on the coast, where she attempts to bury herself in the sand as an expression of frustration. In the midst of this turmoil, an agoraphobic woman observes Aella’s manic movements on the beach and descends to offer solace. Initially cold and distant, Aella gradually softens in response to the stranger’s compassion and the unexpected comfort of shared presence takes over.
In Post-production, 8 minutes
