SYNOPSIS:

A woman (Tasia, 30) is trapped within a moment of time where a routine conversation between her and her partner (Mark, 32) is constantly being repeated. She is disconnected from the outside world, isolated in her apartment in a state that maybe more dream than reality, and unsure of how to escape the cycle that she is in. When down in the basement laundry room of her building she meets an old woman who shows her a way out.

3 breakdowns:

1. Female / 61+ yrs. / Any Ethnicity. OLD WOMAN: An older woman, no longer very connected with reality. She moves slowly through her life, needing time and concentration to complete even the most simple tasks. In a vision Tasia sees another side of her where she is invigorated and perhaps insane.

2. Male / 31-40 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. MARK: Mark is the partner of Tasia and loves her deeply. He feels connected with her and believes their relationship to be strong and balanced. While he realizes that she is often quiet and introverted, he is not aware of the depth of her mental struggles.

3. Female / 31-40 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. TASIA: Although an intelligent, creative and well-liked woman, Tasia has spent most of her life living through other people, most often through her partners. While she loves her current partner, Mark, with whom she has been for a little over 3 years, she is jealous of his success and somewhat resentful towards him as, out of fear of taking risks for herself, she has put all her energy into his progress rather than her own development. After having lived through other people for so long she has lost touch with and interest in herself and with life in general.
