In Between the Clouds

Ethan Carroll once built entire worlds. Councils of cowboys, giants without names, and myths that stitched themselves across generations. But when dementia sets in, those stories begin to fracture. His daughter Emma, raised inside the vivid reality of her father’s imagination, becomes his caregiver, now tasked with preserving the very worlds he can no longer hold. Through dreamlike flashbacks, humor-laced garden dances, and whispered council meetings in his mind, Ethan reveals his final story. Joined by Rich, Emma rediscovers the joy, grief, and eccentric legacy that shaped her childhood and learns that memory isn’t just preservation; it’s creation. The story crescendos with Ethan’s final council meeting, a gentle handoff of the golden pen, and a theatrical performance where Emma’s voice bridges past and present. Through it all, In Between the Clouds explores how imagination can hold a family together when memory lets go.
