Together

Set in modern times, the narrative unfolds with present-day concerns: job changes, social media, modern medicine, and a cultural obsession with ‘finding one’s other half’. The urban-to-rural move frames the story against current anxieties about identity, love, and the unknown.

Millie moves to a quiet countryside town to start teaching. The film centers on a limestone cave where a New Age church once gathered, a setting that becomes the source of the couple's peril. The story also unfolds across Millie's workplace, Jamie's house, and the nearby train station and hospital as the mystery deepens.

💖 Love

The film centers on a couple whose bond is tested by a supernatural phenomenon that aims to fuse them into a single being. Their devotion pushes them to confront the dissolution of individuality in favor of unity. The theme explores how love can both heal and entrapped, depending on whether both partners consent to the fusion.

💔 Loss

Tim’s trauma from his parents’ death haunts his behavior and shapes his fear of losing Millie. The past crash-lands into the present via memories and the cave, complicating trust and intimacy. The sense of a missing parent and unresolved grief underpins the couple’s vulnerability.

🧬 Identity

The fusion process threatens to erase the individual self as body parts fuse. The characters’ sense of self is tested as they navigate physical and existential coupling. The narrative uses body horror to probe how identity remains or dissolves under extreme connection.

👁️ Supernatural
