Abstract

Within Walls is the story of a woman's psychological and physical deconstruction as she comes to terms with a childhood tragedy she feels she caused. This process is mirrored by her sister's perception of her own life after death. A philosophical study on the often slippery human relationship to spaces and structures, this is a story about the power of the walls we live within, and the hope of breaking free from them through the force of our own will.
