Project Title: The Threshold

Brief Synopsis: After twenty years of silence, Sophie returns to her mother Eva’s apartment, a woman who was once her father. In a small, suffocating attic flat, they confront the past, abandonment, and the fragile hope of reconciliation. When an unexpected event shatters the moment, a painful truth emerges. Shot using generative AI tools as a substitute for a traditional camera, the film explores the potential of new video models to capture the subtlest human emotions.
