Description

Edie Metzger's life is reimagined in three distinct movements, each a self-contained story that explores the complexities of identity and time. The first movement takes place at a Nazi book-burning rally in 1933, where Edie infamously bites Hermann Göring's lip. The narrative then shifts to 1956, where grown Edie is a passenger in an Oldsmobile 88 convertible driven by Jackson Pollock, moments before it plunges off the road. This second movement sets the stage for an ever-unspooling universe of possibilities, as Edie's consciousness and past begin to diverge. Through its innovative narrative structure, Absolute Away explores themes of travel, self-discovery, aging, relationships, and our connection to everything else.
