Aprašymas

Multiple Exposure tells the story of one family’s life of arrivals and departures due to war. Ellen Masters’ husband is repeatedly deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Ellen shares her struggles to connect with her husband and recounts her childhood in the woodlands where her vivid imagination develops as a coping mechanism to a traumatic childhood experience.

Ellen describes the cave that fascinates her throughout life and the brandy distillery that she inherits. The landscape is both inviting and haunting, intoxicating Ellen to stay in that place. Her husband, David, works with a Special Forces unit, and Ellen longs for their daughter to connect with him beyond photographs and Skype calls.

Multiple Exposure is about the combination of community and family identity and what it means to sort through the reality of war and trauma--it's a story that layers slow absences, love, and the fast-paced strategy of survival.
