BRUME

A short film by Maureen Payne-Hahner
Adapted from the play written by Silvia Peto

If we are robbed of our rituals and habits by that which is beyond our control, then who are we?

Plants are dying and the birds are gone. The government has assumed ubiquitous and paternal powers. Soothing music is played through loudspeakers each night. Troubled people are consigned to healing centers, and an acute sense of watchfulness permeates the society. Four people struggle atop a fading rooftop garden and with each other as an inevitable climate crisis grips their daily life.
