Estra experiences her birthday night in two compelling and blurred worlds - Twilight and Reality. Harsh tones, straight lines, and blurred edges plague Estra’s mind as she spirals out of control. Lights flashing, voices from the dark corner, and shadow-like occurrences send Estra reaching out to her subconscious self who is trapped in Twilight. She must learn to love and accept the biggest opponent she has ever faced – herself. Estra Love is a surreal meditative story with an intimate look into mental illness, self-love, and true friendship.
Oftentimes, mental illness on film is portrayed clinically – moving the story straight to the facility. Sometimes, the individual doesn’t have the resources to seek help or the strength to get help. Estra Love points out the moment of breakdown and how the character handles it in real time. Taking the first step to look within yourself is the beginning to self-love. Our goal is to reveal that the sun will rise to welcome a new day!
