SYNOPSIS : An encounter with a strange noise only she can hear unlocks something in a woman’s life. Loosely based on the Orpheus myth, The Ending Montages is the retelling of the myth in which Orpheus does not realize that she is in a myth.
The film explores adaptations, how mythology is portrayed and interpreted by our subjective selves, and how reality influences stories being told. The film is composed of three parts: The Sound, The End, and The Sound of the End.
These three parts are all tied together by the strange noise (=the looming thing, fate, and the sound of the end), representing the continuing nature of classical tales and fate but also the existential dread that comes with it.
