Brief:
Radicalisation is a psychological plague that lurks in the shadows, we can never tell the state of somebody’s mental health on the surface. It is about a broken soul, imperfect like all of us, who we can all relate and empathise with.
To tell a story in reverse is an interesting approach to piece a narrative together. It keeps audiences on their toes by the mystery and circumstances that led our character to this destructive moment. But, this story is not meant to appall.
It is about compassion, a reminder to look out for one another and be vigilant at all times to build a stronger, caring community.
Solution:
The music begins with a fragile, haunting tune that sends chills down your spine as we first watch Sandra (main character) execute an unthinkable act.
As the visuals reveal her past, this same tune begins to take shape as a reflection of her isolation and invisibility, slowly building layers of warmth and empathy as we rewind through her silenced past and we begin to feel for her character.
The haunting vocalisation reaches an orchestral swell at the climax, aligning with the emotional weight of understanding her pain and frustration over all this time; a release that makes the audience feel with her.
Finally, the music resolves into a gentler, more hopeful ending, which parallels the film’s reversal – the simple, human act of reaching out to her changes everything, leaving the audience with both emotional resonance and a sense of possibility.
