Synopsis: Dearly Beloved is a visual elegy exploring the dualities of grief and healing within the quiet complexity of intimate relationships. Structured in three distinct acts, the film translates shifting emotional textures through the tactile presence of natural elements: stone, roots, and water. Entirely shot in full-spectrum infrared, Dearly Beloved captures an unseen, haunting visual landscape, while rendering emotional interiority into something raw, dreamlike, and tangible.
