Description: Missing examines the experience of those left behind when a loved one disappears without warning or explanation. It follows Rachel through a day in her life without Paul, her husband who’s been missing for 8 years. We see her trying to come to terms with the insurmountable fact of not knowing; why he left, where he is, and if he’s ever coming back. Missing explores the painful imaginings that fill this vacuum and the stories we tell ourselves when we just don’t know.
