The Bindley Grant – Moment Capacity
Moment Capacity is a drama set in a small-town, which explores the universal struggle of empathy.
CHRISTY, a despondent young woman, escapes a bad relationship and returns to her small-town home, hoping to find stability and a new beginning. But she discovers TOM, one of her dad’s war buddies, is in town for a visit. Her parents seem ill-equipped to deal with her depression – especially when they find out she’s pregnant. When she later suffers a miscarriage, she finds little solace in her parents’ clumsy attempts at empathy, but a small measure of hope in her connection with Tom.

The woman is ill images follow her in this room as she grows more sick and demented until she collapses and the light goes out.
