Faraway

About This Movie

Faraway (2021) is a documentary that captures the quiet, introspective journey of a young man grappling with estrangement. Shot over four seasons, the cinematography has this almost voyeuristic feel, making you feel like an observer in his life. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the emotions of solitude and longing. It explores themes of family, connection, and the complexity of relationships without the usual dramatic flair. There's no heavy-handed narrative—just this raw, honest portrayal of one person's struggle to bridge the gap with his mother. The absence of a known director adds to its intrigue, making it feel like a personal project rather than a commercial endeavor. All in all, it’s a moving study of heart and distance.

A unique documentary with a personal touchFocuses on solitude and family dynamicsNotable for its seasonal storytelling approach
