SYNOPSIS

[EN] Journey’s End taps into ideas and forms of connection shared through several mid-20s writers based in Melbourne. Divided into two halves, the film first finds Mia making a prank-call to their friend, Brac, while he is at work in an office; then visiting a friend in hospital; and finally bug-bombing their sharehouse. They are energetic, playful and occasionally volatile. In the second half, we come to a party that night, where Brac converses with Angelica and he convinces her to recite a short story she’s written. The story follows a boy on a tourist tram alongside a lake, where he sees a man fall off his bike. At first the boy thinks it’s his father, but when he realises that the man isn’t his father, he struggles to reconcile his lack of response with the gravity of what he thought had happened. When Angelica finishes the story, Brac calls bullshit and says that he knows it, as it is by one of his favourite writers. Angelica confesses with delight and Brac finds her unusual candour charming. Mia arrives and Angelica’s humour turns rapidly to confusion and nervousness. She leaves without warning and Mia discusses with Brac an uncertain familiarity with Angelica. Mia sees Angelica has dropped her book and heads out after her. They arrive at the front gate and it is too late – Angelica is nowhere to be seen. Mia opens the book and finds a personal note to Angelica in the cover. They take a moment to read it and we cut to black.
