Retrograde

description

A minor traffic citation spirals into an all-consuming obsession for a neurotic young woman.

After a jarring encounter with a police officer leaves her with a minor traffic citation, Molly becomes determined to get the ticket dismissed. But when her housemate refuses to testify as a witness, Molly’s pursuit escalates into a self-destructive obsession that threatens her job, her friends, and her morality. Disquieting and intimate, RETROGRADE explores truth, justice, and accountability through a dryly comic lens. With sharp writing and sufficient cringe factor moments, this Canadian indie treasure had its World Premiere at Slamdance 2022, where it received a Grand Jury Honorable Mention.
