Directed by Dylan Rhys Howard | 99’ | Canada
Prudence, a dishwasher and housecleaner with the telepathic power to eavesdrop on people’s stream of consciousness, creates eccentric characters out of clothing she steals from her clients and stages confrontational performances in the street. She’s estranged from her mother, also an artist, and the only other person who shares this telepathic gift. As Prudence comes to terms with her mother’s terminal illness and the knowledge that her telepathy comes at a cost, she gains a clearer understanding of how to find meaningful connections with others.
