TOGETHER ALONE
11 MIN
2025
Together Alone portrays the life of Shura and Ofelya, an elderly couple who lived together in isolation for nearly fifty years in a small house detached from the outside world. The film begins after Ofelya’s death and gradually moves backward through time, where memory, silence, and space merge into a single emotional reality. Time unfolds in a circular and sometimes frozen way. The house itself becomes a living archive of memory, carrying traces of absence and existence through its silent objects, worn walls, and empty rooms.Through static imagery and the blending of past footage with Shura’s present-day life, the film explores loneliness, memory, and the invisible continuation of shared existence.
