BRIEF SYNOPSIS

A suspenseful and cryptic silent short that follows a nervous and unsettling young BOY (Thomas Sangster) as he travels across London with a mysterious old suitcase. The twisted, gothic and surreal conclusion takes place when he reaches his destination - where a LADY (Rosalind Knight) has been waiting, on opening it: shafts of light fill the room in a massive spectacle - and when the light from the suitcase powers down we find that the LADY has become a dainty young GIRL (Ruby Bentall). The secrets of the suitcase revealed to be eternal youth, the ability to start over - but, from the eyes of the BOY and LADY, we can see it clearly comes with great sacrifices.
