Title: Narcissus
Storyline: This short film is a contemporary retelling of the myth of Narcissus. It follows Nick, a personal trainer, who callously ends his relationship with Eleanor, a woman who is already emotionally drained and fragile. Eleanor’s mother, Eabha, curses Nick after witnessing her daughter’s pain.
Nick’s downfall begins with the collapse of his mental state, haunted by visions and mysterious figures, as his stoic and emotionally stunted exterior starts to crumble.
Along the way, Eleanor struggles with her own sense of loss, while enigmatic characters like Eabha and the Stranger push the story into a darker, otherworldly direction.
This is a gripping opportunity to portray characters in a psychologically intense and dramatic reimagining of a timeless myth.
