Till Death (2021)

Till Death tells a story of a married woman that finds herself handcuffed to her dead husband’s body following their anniversary retreat to the remote lake house. As Emma is trying to piece together last night’s events, she gradually realises that her partner’s suicide is just the beginning of the orchestrated series of punishments that he has planned for her. The extreme revenge strategy unfolds minute by minute as Emma anxiously tries to escape the deadly house in the middle of Winter, tormented by past traumas and relentless hitmen chasing her down… while she is still physically attached to her partner. What a brilliant, yet torturing metaphor to emphasise that one of the most significant parts of ending a relationship and truely moving on is to stop holding on to the past and let go of that unhealthy weight. In Till Death’s case, quite literally.
