ASYLUM SEEKERS is a short film and exploration of the cyclical and often devastating nature of psychological disorders with a darkly comedic slant. We follow two women, Lucretia and Crystal as they emerge back into the humdrum of reality after an extended stint in a Psychiatric Unit. Forced to engage with the real world again they find it has little to offer them other than a grotty and numb existence. Through several comical and familiar disappointments, the two girls revert to their own universe where they are all powerful and back in control of their environment. Ultimately the outside world creeps back into their lives with hilarious and tragic consequences.
