Wander Darkly is a mystery drama following a couple who find their relationship tested after an accident. It follows them as they try to understand their life and question whether they are still alive. All while jumping through a lifetime of memories they haven’t had yet.
This movie looks to challenge people’s understanding of the world. It looks at how we can doubt ourselves and question a lot of what happens around us. This helps the journey of uncertainty and dealing with trauma become easier to understand. While keeping us guessing as to what might be the truth about the accident.
