Fix The Past – feature film
Dead Again meets Sophie’s Choice…with a few more twists
(looking for an investor and an executive producer)
Ingrid has been suffering from flashbacks and some very disturbing nightmares. She is also having problems with her back and decides to go to the chiropractor where she has some very strange experiences that she can’t understand. Whilst at the therapist it all becomes very clear that it is far more than just flashes and nightmares that have been hidden in her subconscious. It is now time for it all to come out. She finds herself looking at the past…but a lot further back than she expects. It is a magical, healing and spiritual journey of self-discovery, it is very Lynchian and goes in and out of consciousness and the subconscious. It is based in the present day in London and in World War II in Poland.
A film about abuse and how to heal from it ❤️
