The Tower

Tereza cherishes moments of being the carefree girl she once was. She enjoys time with her boyfriend, but her thoughts drift to fears about raising Karla. She keeps her worlds apart, but one night changes everything. The Tower is a short film about losing oneself and how life's most important roles are often thrust upon us.
