Reunion | Holly — Reunion

A new reality.

The film follows a young woman in the weeks after undergoing a total laryngectomy procedure. The narrative unfolds in a series of vignettes - small, personal experiences where she is forced to confront the challenges of her new reality.

Director’s Statement.

“I wanted the ﬁlm to feel like brief glimpses of a life - the way an entire week can turn into a collection of moments that blend together in the haze of memory. And I wanted to reveal the seismic emotional distress that can often occur just beneath the surface of so many seemingly ordinary interactions. The details of Holly’s story may be unique to her experience, but the overarching narrative taps into themes that are universal - loss, personal identity, alienation, sexuality, and the inability to control how you are perceived. There are no answers here, no easy resolutions. There’s just a real person trying to get by under extraordinary circumstances with a little bit of grace and humor.”
