PINCHED is a quiet, performance-driven short film that explores love, autonomy, aging, and the dignity of choosing one’s own ending. When Ginna takes a serious fall and cannot get up, she and Pauline, her partner of more than fifty years, find themselves stranded in a cluttered, run down, borderline hoarder apartment they’ve shared for decades. Once celebrated science-fiction writers, the women pass the time revisiting memories, unfinished work, and the life they chose together — as the reality of their desperate situation quietly closes in. Total Running time approximately 15 minutes.
