Depart

In the near future, the population has been briefed on evacuation plans, which have been named 'departures'. The need for the departure plan is a mystery, however there are strict and precise plans for the evacuation, which has been doled out into sections of the population. Lauren is in the midst of her evacuation, and as she rushes to pack following the departure guidelines, she misplaces her beloved late mother's necklace. Refusing to leave without it, her desperate search races against time, and she risks being left behind in an unknown future. (Cinequest Festival)
