Synopsis (ENG)
Still Processing, a poetic and evocative short film by directors Sonia Mutaganzwa and Jean Luc Niyonshuti, delves into the intricate and ever-shifting nature of grief. Loss is not linear—it loops, twists, and folds back on itself. We fall, we process, we heal, but we might fall again.
Through a lyrical exploration of the five stages of grief, the film reveals how loss extends beyond the physical—encompassing identity, self-worth, relationships, and sense of direction. Each stage offers a different lens, a new way of seeing how we break, mend, and break again.
