Toorak

Toorak is a tender and haunting short film about grief, love, and the mysterious ways closure can find us. Caught in a torrential downpour, Elizabeth, a woman in her 40s burdened by long-buried grief, takes shelter in a crowded coffee shop. There, she reluctantly shares a table with Jack—a soaked but kind-eyed young man who seems to know far more about her than a stranger should. When Jack reveals impossible details about Elizabeth’s late fiancé, John—who died tragically twenty-two years earlier—Elizabeth is forced to confront a truth she’s kept locked away: the day John died, she was in the hospital, terminating a pregnancy he never knew about. As Jack recounts intimate memories only John could have known, he reveals his devastating secret—he believes he is John, reincarnated… and he’s dying. What begins as a strange encounter becomes a path to healing, as Elizabeth grapples with the unimaginable and finally finds peace. The rain clears. The past lets go. And a long-broken heart begins to mend.
