Persephone

She used to dance for him, he used to play. Trapped in the dreams of yesterday, it's a torment that shows no end. Until a moment, when day meets night, that she might dance for him again. Persephone is a love story that transcends time. A young supper club waitress is still living in the dreams of yesterday - the secret world that had belonged to her and Jack, the famous club pianist, her lost love. There is a photo on the club wall, however, that is changing. Only Persephone sees that Jack, in the photo, is slowly turning towards her... A short film inspired by Greek mythology, Persephone is about forbidden love, fate, the reluctance to forget, and hope.
