PACKING AWAY

By Mykea Fairweather Perry

Packing Away is a quiet, emotional story about two brothers, Nicholas (31) and Jason (21), who are reunited after years of estrangement following their mother's unexpected death. Forced to sort through their childhood home, they reflect on their past while struggling to reconnect. Nicholas, burdened by anxiety and a difficult relationship with their mother, finds it hard to express himself. Jason, more open but naive to Nicholas's pain, tries to bridge the gap. Through subtle interactions and shared memories, they slowly rebuild their bond. The film explores family, loss, and the challenge of vulnerability, with an authentic, improvised script developed through actor workshops.
