TESFA, short film. Compassion, numbness and remorse

DB and Terry live an enclosed life, avoiding reminders of the traumatic events. DB’s arrogance is a part of her character trait; Terry drinks. When DB sees how the local communities show natural compassion and awareness of another person’s misfortune, she feels overwhelmed and motivated to do the right thing. While Terry becomes more unhinged, DB grows fixated to make herself useful. From that moment, their close bond began to split apart.
