Synopsis

On a Tuesday a woman experiences overwhelming emotion and struggles to maintain a connection to the one she has lost. Slow, surrealistic images of the woman in grief are juxtaposed with intense flashes of fragmented thoughts and memories to represent the contradictory and tumultuous state of being physically numb while at the same time feeling emotionally chaotic. Ultimately, “Tuesday” questions if it is possible to endure through such heartbreak and sudden change; whether the pain ever truly diminishes or if it will continue to flood into our lives at the blink of an eye.
