3 roles
Jane is a neurotic, fragile, and haunted woman in her late 20s, feeling trapped in her current relationship. She carries the weight of past choices and trembles with fear over the one she’s about to make. Her nihilism leaves her drifting like a ghost through her own life. This role calls for someone who can express quiet vulnerability alongside intense inner turmoil.
Late 70s to early 80s. A quiet widow living alone on the edge of the woods. Irene spends her days in stillness, her thoughts wandering through memory and imagined lives. When she stumbles upon a young couple picnicking in a clearing, she becomes a silent witness to their relationship—watching as it unfolds, fractures, and reveals itself. Her interior life is rich with longing, regret, and peace.
Late 20s, charming in a casual, slightly oblivious way. Luke wants things to be simple — a nice day, a picnic, a few laughs — but underneath his calm demeanor is a man drifting from his own depth. He’s present physically but elsewhere emotionally. His voiceover reveals someone struggling to articulate what’s wrong, even to himself. He loves Jane, but from a distance. He doesn’t know what he’s created.
