About the film
A short psychological drama about two women whose decades-long relationship has dissolved into obsessive co-dependence, tenderness, and mutual destruction. A relationship where love and cruelty coexist so tightly that neither can tell where one ends and the other begins.

Description
The role of Agatha
Agatha is a composed, apparently unbothered woman in her 40s who works as a tailor. She is quiet and measured, with a subtle but unmistakable sense of control. Unlike Pauline, she rarely lashes out with words. Her cruelty is more calculated and physical, expressed through small gestures and deliberate actions.
She loves Pauline deeply, almost painfully, but takes comfort in knowing that Pauline never gets very far when she tries to leave. Her tenderness can feel comforting and suffocating at the same time. She carries herself like someone who has lived through the same argument countless times and already knows how it will end.
Her look is more disheveled and darker, with minimal jewellery.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an actor who can convey emotional complexity through stillness, physical presence, small gestures, and subtle shifts in expression. An actor comfortable with portraying a queer character is a must! The role calls for a naturalistic performance with a convincing sense of shared history with another character. Acting experience is preferable, but willingness is more important.
Knowledge of English is essential. Candidates from all backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to apply.
