On Standby

Directed by Milena Flemisch

Victoria wants to appear determined and clear on the outside, but struggles internally with her fear. David wants to do “the right thing” and meet the expectations of him as a man. On the day before her abortion, Victoria tries to deal with the conflicting feelings that this situation brings with it. Between juggling everyday life, a painful decision and unspoken needs, a fragile dynamic emerges between self-determination and the silent desire for honest connection.
