Tether

The plot

A short film written, directed, edited and produced by Eva Justine Torkkola (www.evajusttorks.com).

Country of origin: Australia.

Director's Statement: The relationship between parents and children has always fascinated me – in this film Tether we explore a fractured father/daughter relationship through the characters of Jack and his daughter June. With June’s mother passing away when June was just 6 years old, Jack was left to raise his daughter on his own. Battling a life in seclusion in the Australian bushland, unable to speak English very well, and grieving for his lost wife, their father-daughter relationship spirals out of control. We see how loss affects these two people in two such different (yet such similar) ways. Moved by captured moments in time, and exploring the relationships that are strained or tested, this short film is a passion project that grew from my own family story.
