We close out November with a science-fiction film the complete opposite of this month’s first film, Weekend At The End Of The World.
Set in a world where a biotechnology company has invented a procedure that allows people to upload their memories into a synthetic clone of their younger selves, The Ladder follows Arthur, an aging fisherman living in Ketchikan, Alaska, who is grieving the loss of his wife.
Simultaneously, the widower desperately seeks to maintain a bond with his estranged son, Ryan, who lives across the country but hopes an upcoming visit can bring them closer. A moving piece of speculative fiction, playing out over stunning Alaskan landscapes.
When Arthur’s offered a chance at the experimental Fresh Start procedure, he struggles to embrace an uncertain future. As others become young again, Arthur must weigh the pain of holding on against the price of letting go.
The Ladder is a poignant, contemplative tale of grief, love and second chances.
This screening is scheduled to be followed by a remote Q&A with the director Emilio Miguel Torres.
