Director: Kate Auster

Year: 2025

Two people tune into each other across the noise of the world. When the signal fades, what remains? This is the story of a relationship traced through the hush between words - a connection built not on certainty, but on echoes, pauses, and the quiet rhythm of shared moments. Told through the subtle shifts of presence and absence, of intimacy and distance, it explores what it means to truly listen. A meditation on connection, loss, and the traces we learn to hear when someone is gone.
