Camilla Winston-Brown desperately needed a breakthrough in her film career, not to lose her job a month before her thirtieth birthday. Faced with mounting debt and an overwhelming sense of despair, she purposefully crashes her car feet from Hollywood Boulevard. When she wakes up in her childhood bedroom, she finds her mother and best friend—both deceased in her reality—are alive and well. She has a loving partner, she never left her Missouri hometown for LA, and gave up filmmaking long ago. As Camilla’s magnetic pull towards a mysterious filmmaker named Millie grows, she’s forced to come to terms with what’s real, what’s not, and why she crashed her car.
“Fragments of Another Life” is a thoughtful examination of the road not taken, and if comfortable dreams are preferable to uncertain realities.
