Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Alarie | Female 50 - 60 Years old |
Description A once-polished woman unraveling under the weight of estrangement, trauma, and grief. Highly internalized, emotionally raw, and physically vulnerable. The film lives in her body, memory, and breath. *Partial nudity occurs during ALARIE’s bathtub scenes. The water will be opaque, ensuring no visibility through it. The actor will wear skin-toned, form-fitting garments consisting of shorts and a tube top. Her chest will only be visible in a single, specific shot, during which the scripted surgical scars across her chest may be seen. At all other times, she will remain covered. There will be no interaction with other performers during moments of partial nudity. The scene will be filmed on a closed set, and an intimacy coordinator will be present on set throughout. | ||
