Short Film
Synopsis.
On her way back from work one day, Ada witnesses three teenage boys bullying a pre-teen boy on a low bridge. Her instincts against injustice kick in, and she rushes to help the bullied boy. However, she gets pushed over the bridge and falls into the water below. Rather than help, the teenagers run away and Ada, unable to swim, starts to drown.
Although she is eventually rescued, this event leaves her traumatised to the point of needing therapy. This is where things start to get weird. Her therapist seems to be more than he appears to be, and Ada seems to have walked into anything but a therapy session. She is taken into a world of gods and mythical events where the past, present, and future are nothing but just bumps on a never-ending line.
In the end, Ada learns more about herself and comes to accept her destiny. She awakens a new woman, a changed person, and a goddess in her own right.
