By the Lake
2025, English. Directed by Alex Dauphin.
Luce is a Black loner from the city whose hard past makes them distrust the future. Reina is a White firecracker from Appalachia who has never heard a ‘no’ she couldn’t sway. While Luce shoots up in an abandoned warehouse, Reina pops pills at home. Both OD. Luce and Reina’s paths intersect for one day in rehab – Reina’s first and Luce’s last. While Reina sneaks pills in, Luce tries to shut her ex out. As Reina tries to suss out the lay of the land, she finds on Luce by the lake. Luce warns Reina about routine drug tests while Reina warns Luce about chasing the wrong girl. That night, Reina faces the battle to get clean. The next morning, leaving rehab, Luce faces a new one: the battle to stay clean.
