After being forced to evacuate their Manhattan office building due to a commonplace bomb threat, two estranged workplace lovers – Rebekah and Leif – struggle to connect while wandering the pre-apocalyptic midtown streets. While Rebekah reacts with dread, everyone else around treats this growing state of emergency as a faraway scandal, another topic of idle conversation.This uncontrollable isolation coupled with her recent immigration solely for this soulless office job has brought on that brand of disconnection which turns all things and people into threats. Perhaps this is why she disappeared for a workweek and two weekends from all things and people, including this job, and even Leif.Leif is undeniably different from the rest. He actually addresses this world Rebekah knows too well. He is the only one. Yet, he does so with that brand of dismissive humor which dangerously breaches into nerveless denial. This coping mechanism pushes her and reality further away, but keeps him strangely safe…… until – her confession of a plaguing dream breaks down their expiring identities and reveals the missing link to a fulfilling private language they have shared all along.Private Languages explores the fear of helplessness in the face of the absurdly possible and how we each handle this panic within ourselves, and in the arms of others.This film seeks to do justice to the destructive nature in which disconnection with self and missed connections with others impact mental state. The narrative is mostly linear, in the realm of the absurd, and very intimate. The style will exude elements of noir, neorealism, experimental, and new wave. We see through the eyes of someone who has felt alone for too long.
