WINNER OF 2021 telus audience choice award: alberta feature

While out on a day pass from an in-patient treatment program, Ray meets Arora and agrees to spend the day with her when she makes the audacious claim that she can predict the outcome of their day.

As they walk through the city, she pulls him deeper into her accounts of love and enchantment, and the two strike a deal to spend the day together. While debating the nature of love, Arora reveals that she experiences life backwards one day at a time and that the two of them spend most of their lives married. If what Arora says is true, then it’s not only the first day Ray is meeting her - it’s also the last time Arora is ever going to see him.

HERE & AFTER is a fresh new take on a time-travel romance, by first-time feature director Shaun Crawford, who was the screenwriter on previous CIFF films A MIRACLE ON CHRISTMAS LAKE and EVERFALL.
