CLEMENTINE

LOGLINE

After a suicide attempt lands him in a psychiatric ward, a heartbroken young man forms an unexpected bond with a fellow patient, forcing him to confront grief, dependency, and the painful truth that the people who save us aren't always meant to stay. 

Synopsis

After a devastating breakup leads to a suicide attempt, Tyler, a heartbroken young man struggling with abandonment and self-worth, is admitted to a psychiatric ward. There, he forms an unexpected bond with another patient known only as The Girl, a magnetic young woman carrying wounds of her own.

As their connection deepens, Tyler begins confronting the emotional dependency, grief, and fear of abandonment that have defined his life. Guided by the ward's compassionate psychiatrist, Doctor Gabriel, he must learn the difference between being saved by someone and learning how to save himself.

Blurring the lines between memory, heartbreak, dreams, and reality, Clementine is an intimate psychological drama about loneliness, healing, and the people who change us forever—even when they aren't meant to stay.
