Constellations
Directed by Elliot Huxtable
“Every choice, every decision you’ve ever and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes”
Marianne, a physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, meet at a party. They hit it off, and go for a drink. Or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. Perhaps they’re entangled in other commitments, or maybe they’re destined to break each other’s hearts.”Constellations” is a love story—where one relationship spans the cosmos, illuminating the boundless horizons of hope, heartbreak, and the beauty of the unknown.
