Directed by Eli Woloshin and Jonah Slaghekke, this intimate drama unfolds in a small, tightly-knit community where the past refuses to stay buried. The story centers on a restless young man, portrayed by Eli Woloshin, who returns to his hometown only to find himself entangled in the fragile lives of those he left behind. Driven by a desperate need for connection and redemption, he reconnects with a former flame, played by Sabrina Kissack, whose own quiet struggles mirror his unresolved guilt. As old tensions resurface among a circle of friends and neighbors, including Ben Brandwein and Alice Burg, the characters are forced to confront the painful choices that have shaped their present. With a muted, contemplative tone, the film weaves together moments of raw vulnerability and hesitant hope, exploring themes of forgiveness, identity, and the weight of unspoken truths. The ensemble cast, featuring Alex Lukmann, Isabel Fereira, Jonah Slaghekke, Luan Rogers, Lucia Pompetti, and Justin Sagalow, brings a naturalistic authenticity to this character-driven portrait of human fragility. Plonternish is a slow-burning meditation on how the echoes of yesterday can either trap us or set us free.
