I REMEMBER Trailer from TRIMAPHILM on Vimeo.

It’s late summer in a small town on the Californian coast. As usual, 18-year-old friends Josh and Ben are spending their holidays in the isolated beach-hut. One day, the 30-year-old Elena turns up and moves into the house on top of the cliffs. Rivalry creeps into the friendship and when Elena’s husband arrives, the situation escalates. In the end, Josh is left as sole witness.
"My aim was not to faithfully adapt the short story, but instead illustrate my own interpretation of it. For this I wanted to locate the story somewhere that was emotionally relevant to myself personally." (Janna Ji Wonders)
