Flo
2023 / S16mm / 7 minutes / narrative
Flo is a meditative portrayal of a nurse’s solitary journey of survival and self-discovery during WWII. Inspired by a true story, the film follows Flo, a woman isolated in a remote cabin as she waits for her husband’s return from war. Nature’s elements – wind, water, and earth – help Flo accept that the life she had imagined has faded away. Flo was filmed in the very cabin where the real-life nurse sought refuge.
