“The narrative tells a story in the backroom saloon of a faded and weather-beaten seaside town. Enter the characters portrayed by Marina, Brana, and Johnny. Time has stood still for them with their days and nights having joined together to create one continuous never-ending round of song and drink. Johnny’s fingers at the piano coax sad haunting late-night ballads and the melancholy music of broken dreams for two women who have slipped through the cracks of life. They sway to the music, caught in the drift of memories of missed chances. Their lonely laughter is jagged and hollow like the town itself, washed up and worn down. Outside they can hear the distant sound of crashing waves murmuring through the bar’s cracked windows, a reminder of a forgotten life that once shimmered but has since slipped away.
There is no beginning and there is no end in their dimly lit backroom … it’s a world of forgotten promises and ghosts that never left.”
