Baggage
United States / English / 9 min / Romance, Drama / 2024
Everyone has “baggage” that we carry around with us in our lives. But it’s not a negative thing, rather something that makes us who we are. People connect when finding similar things in each other’s “baggage.” When you wake up in the morning, for a few minutes you are still clean and baggage-free. As you go along with your day, certain things bring up memories in you and your baggage appears.  Same happens with the main character. As she goes along with her day – we notice everyone having baggage – even kids, and even animals. If you’re lucky enough, you may find someone who will be interested in going through your baggage and helping you fix unresolved issues.  That’s real love.
