STORY

Tomorrow Alice leaves for America and invites her childhood friend Liam on one final outing in their favourite shared place: Washingwell Woods. Taking place over one day Alice and Liam attempt to recapture their friendship, which seems to have been slipping away the last few years. Refusing to discuss the day after today and repressing their true emotions, they begin fairly distant from each other. Yet over the course of the date they realise they will never truly be apart.

Perhaps they simply see each other as friends, or maybe as siblings or maybe something more, either way it is too late now the opportunity has gone. It is not just today that emotions have been repressed. The fear they both share of losing each other has ironically begun to separate them, and thus during this date they have realised that they are out of time, and now want to make the most of what they have left.

It is a film where nothing really happens, except it’s all happening in our characters heads and their refusing to speak about the next day. There’s a slight tension throughout. It’s not explicitly said that Alice is leaving until the end. But subtle character moments could reveal to a clever audience what is happening earlier on.

Each scene flows from the last with a heavy emphasis on continuity, as the day is coming to an end it is something they try to ignore. Encountering swans, teenagers, rocks, barbed wire and train tracks, Alice and Liam simply drift through the woods with no real plan, they don’t know where they’ll end up next.
