The Long Weekend(2017)

The Long Weekend is a poignant indie drama following a disaffected millennial as he confronts grief and loss during an extended break from his routine life. When his childhood dog dies, the protagonist is forced to reckon with the weight of that absence—a loss that mirrors deeper struggles with purpose, connection, and adulthood. The film explores how a seemingly small death can crack open larger questions about meaning and belonging. With a quiet, introspective tone, The Long Weekend captures the particular ache of losing something irreplaceable from your past. It's a meditative character study that finds emotional depth in the everyday, examining how we process sorrow and what it means to move forward when the anchors of our childhood slip away.
