A bleak tale about grief
27 August 2019
Many can imagine how it is to lose a loved one, but just who really is in mourning who knows the pain. The film uses science fiction to go through all the stages of grief; Denial - Anger - Bargain - Depression - Acceptance. In which we see Grace herself helping her friend Aubrey overcome her death. The electromagnetic waves, the end of the world and everything else are just allegories, they are the living feelings themselves. In the end where we can see Aubrey finally accepting that the world without her best friend is over, is behind her and she needs to move on. That is, let it be destroyed. Forgive and Forget. A feeling that only those who are really in mourning know the pain.
