Dead Language
Aya awaits her husband at the airport’s arrivals hall, but following an innocent mix-up, she pickes up a complete stranger instead. An immediate sense of intimacy sparks between the two, but ends abruptly when the man disappears, leaving Aya with a key to his hotel room and a yearning that perhaps only a complete stranger can fulfill.
Based on the Oscar-nominated short film “AYA”.
