Synopsis/Details

Mason, a man weighed down by unresolved guilt over the family he left behind, arrives at a nearly empty train station with a quiet, final intention. As he drifts between the present and fleeting memories of his young son, he prepares to make an irreversible decision.

Nearby, Wren unravels in silence. Clutching a photograph of a child, she mutters fragmented thoughts to herself, disconnected yet deeply present in her pain. At first, Mason recognizes in her only a reflection of his own intention — someone who has also come to the edge.

But when Wren begins repeating a simple phrase — “Two of us rowing, long walks” — it breaks through Mason’s emotional paralysis, triggering a buried memory of his son. The moment interrupts his trajectory.

Instead of stepping forward, Mason steps toward her.

Their interaction is brief, uncertain, and fragile. Neither offers answers. Neither finds resolution. But something shifts.

Mason chooses not to die today.

As he walks away, he leaves Wren behind — until she makes her own choice, stepping away from the tracks and following him into an uncertain tomorrow.

The film ends not with redemption, but with continuation.

The Writer: Ferenc Berki

I’m a Europe-based writer creating metaphysical sci-fi and atmospheric horror driven by psychological depth and existential themes. My stories explore identity, consciousness, and the fragile boundary between reality and the unknown. Alongside speculative fiction, I write LGBTQ+ narratives that focus on authentic human connection, transformation, and emotional truth — often blending genre storytelling with intimate character journeys. With a background in visual art and performance, my writing leans cinematic, immersive, and emotionally intense. I’m drawn to bold concepts, haunting imagery, and stories that challenge perception while remaining deeply human. All screenplays presented on this… Go to bio
