Comedy, Short Films, 08-Nov-2024
A very dramatic, broken-hearted woman wanders the wilderness searching for her lost love. Mitra Jouhari’s “Wayfaring Stranger” is a poetic comedy with reflective anecdotes of a post-break-up self. Frame to frame, we see the wilderness while listening to Jouhari’s spoken word. Her ex’s “touch” and “cum-stained blanket” are deeply entrenched in her mind. She traverses the woods with a plastic sled, possibly coming closer to reconciliation. While the narration collides poetic prose with crude vernacular, the film is an increasingly hilarious look into the mind of a weary soul. -JM Director: Mitra Jouhari. Cast: Mitra Jouhari.
