(MOURNING) AFFIRMATIONS
Guided by the voice of an AI self-help cassette, a grieving young adult wanders through Berlin, where fractured memories and the pressure to be “well” slowly dissolve the illusion of stability.

(MOURNING) AFFIRMATIONS is a dreamy short film that drifts through mental struggle, grief, and fractured memory, structured around the relentless voiceover of a self-help tape. Set in the gloomy landscape of Berlin, the film exposes the quiet violence of compulsory wellness, the demand to cope, to heal, to be “okay,” and explores what emerges when we stop performing stability and allow ourselves to unravel.
