THE STORY

Alvin and Dorothy receive a belated letter from their son Patrick months after losing him in the Vietnam War, forcing them to confront their feelings of grief together.

THE MUSIC

As Alvin recalls memories of Patrick, the music’s palette shifts into a melancholic soundscape that portrays time being turned back.

The final scene becomes the climax as Dorothy comforts Alvin when he breaks down in Patrick’s childhood bedroom. The music mirrors this release of emotion through blooming waves of sounds as well as the director’s very own vocals – embodying their grief and sadness.
