Synopsis

< Other Voices > Portrays a couple whose relationship is in a state of transition, if not yet turmoil,. Phil and Anna are struggling to maintain a trust they once had but are no longer able to hold onto. Indeed, each suspects the other of infidelity, and they are ready to pursue their mutual doubts. Phil’s best fried, John, is an acerbic, intense, and relentless lawyer who help his friend’s investigation to an extent that goes far beyond his expectations, And Anna’s brother, Jeff, incensed at the notion that his sister’s husband is cheating, is driven and determined to put an end to it.
Played out against a backdrop of a world in seeming chaos, an apocalyptic scenario that feeds the tensions of a story in which there is clealy more going on that what appears on the surface, this is film that vividly grasps that favor and cacophony of the present moment. An edgy and inventive script, coupled with superb performances from an outstanding cast and great visual style, makesa special film experience. Its surprise, drama, and purpose underscore the vitality of independent cinematic creation.
