SHE'S NOT COMING - APACALDA
Based on a true story, the film follows the last journey of Louisa, an elderly woman who ended her life. The inspiration came directly from the experience of Apacalda’s friend, who lost his mother to what is suspected to have been suicide. She was a devoutly religious woman who nurtured her relationship with God but ultimately chose to leave the church, which led to her exclusion from the community. She would regularly walk along the shores of a beach near her house. One morning, news outlets spread the story of a woman's body washing up on the familiar shoreline. Her son knew right away that it was his mother, realizing they would never speak again.
