A young girl has a near-death experience, and her spirit and body become estranged. As the girl’s body fights to regain consciousness, her spirit wanders through a fragmented landscape of memory searching for a way back home. When they finally converge, will it be too late? This is the story of the human spirit and the universal craving to find home told through dance, music and film.

Inspired by the seminal poem Song, by Allen Ginsberg, The Weight is a dance based short film about a two sisters separated by a freak act of nature.
