Newly homeless, Gracie is about to commit suicide. But at the last moment, as she hovers over the railings of Waterloo Bridge, a young woman, Ellie, runs onto the bridge. She begs Gracie to help her escape from a pursuer who’s just yards behind. Shocked out of her dark purpose, Gracie helps Ellie, and they escape. Walking the empty streets, Gracie thinks the threat is past and a tentative relationship begins between the girls. But as she finds out more about Ellie, Gracie realises just how vulnerable they still are.
The Beginning of Light is a mute choreographed film, using 2 poems. The first tells of a young woman, who, devastated by the death of her lover, finally lets him go. In the second Poem, her moods lightens, but a Young Man watches her unseen.
