Four years after a violent argument, Petunia, a young woman recovering from mental health and memory issues, struggles to find the best way to make amends to her ex-fiancé Vera.

Director’s Vision for ‘Idyll’

“Idyll” is a romantic drama between two young Latina women, Vera and Petunia. Our story flashes back and forth between a relationship-ending incident between the two ladies while at a seemingly idyllic oceanside guest house, and four years later at a woodsy vacation cabin where Petunia surprises Vera and her new partner Carol, waking them in a clumsy attempt to make amends.

The film explores unique and necessary themes— Domestic abuse in same-sex female relationships, the shame of memory loss and mental health issues, and the proper way to make up for past mistakes. We have created this film and are submitting it to festivals because it carries a necessary message and must reach the widest audience possible.
