Solitude

Running time: N/A

Lies-deception-sex-depravation-betrayal. Hilary and Soledad are on their way to Flagstaff, but their truck is not going to get them all the way. Solution: Stop in Phoenix at the home of Hilary's brother, Louis and borrow his car. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Louis isn't in a particularly good mood. In fact, he's "vein-slicingly" distraught. As a 10-minute visit turns into an evening of emotional and sexual turmoil, each of these three people is forced to face not only his/her greatest demons, but also the unbearable reality of his/her lives. The horrifying inner-workings of the mind come to life in this powerful and thought-provoking film. Co-directors and real-life husband and wife, Susan Kraker and Pi Ware breath life into this twisted psychological drama about the inability to recognize one's own solitude and the self-destruction that occurs because of it. Reaching into the absolute blackness of the human mind is no small task, but Solitude does so with captivating intensity. - Sandra Rodriguez
