The Way Back

Ember is a 21-year-old photography student, stubborn, confident and independent. Her biggest dream has always been to move out of her hometown - she hated it for as long as she could remember and never felt comfortable there. But as Ember fulfils her dream and moves away to a different city, she keeps coming back to the memories of her past life and introspecting her connection with her hometown.

During her last days before moving out, Jules watches her mum’s youth through an old home video camera, coming to terms with her own fears about the future and her mom’s regrets about the past.
