Short Film | UK, India, Singapore | 2024
Two friends: one with a broken heart, the other on the brink of marriage. Together, they set out on a day’s journey that leads them to confront their past amidst shared grief and hopes for a brighter future. Centred around intimate friendships between men of colour, Farewell presents evolving expressions of modern masculinity.
