Past Imperfect

Running time: 110 mins

She’s built her walls…but motherhood tears them down. As an escort, Alice has created the kind of world in which she’s comfortable. No real connections. No ties. Just the way she likes it. But, that world is swiftly obliterated when her ex-boyfriend dies unexpectedly; leaving her to care for the six-year-old son she left behind years before. With her carefully constructed reality gone, she is thrust into the crucible of motherhood—surrounded by the minefield of her past. Will she run once again, or stay to face her fears? Writer/director Nathalie Teirlinck shows no signs that Past Imperfect is her debut feature—creating an emotionally resonant story, marked by poetic and arresting images, as well as tremendous heart for the characters she brings to life. – Michael Rabehl ?Sponsored by the Applied Materials Foundation
