And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too.

Warm ash. Feu la cendre. The kind of ash that never gets cold. The ash of memory...

The screen is in flames as we are inside a crematorium. No much can be seen and the director focuses on the sound recording of the conversations between the employees. There is no place for mystical experiences in their lives, to the contrary – they perform all their tasks mechanically. Cremation is a simple process which turns a human corpse into ash.

A fire has swept everything away. Wandering among the ashes, a single human is lost in thought.

After the death of his best friend, we follow Dustin on a grief-induced bender for one. Going to great fucked-up lengths to keep the memory of his best friend Ashleigh alive. How? By accidentally mixing her ashes into his buzz of course.

A tragic summer romance set against the backdrop of the beautiful Texas countryside, Ashes is a bittersweet meditation on how grief and regret can intertwine and how we can choose to move past these feelings, or live alongside them.
