During a pandemic, a nurse decides to live in her car to protect her family. The cheesy greeting cards her son sends her in social isolation begin to take on a special importance.
How do you be there for someone when you can’t be there? “SHIFT” explores how isolation affects the psyche of Sarah, a nurse and mother struggling with feelings of guilt for her chosen profession. Though initially wanting to illuminate the hardships of essential workers; we settled on a theme of how caring for those you love can be difficult, confusing, but ultimately, worthwhile.
