‘We were those two collapsing pillars, that when you made them lean against one another would stand stronger, than any one whole pillar could ever do. We would be all right, as long as we stayed together.’
– excerpt from I’m not Here
Leo has been with her boyfriend Simon for ten years. Connected by a troublesome childhood, the couple doesn’t need much except one another. Until everything collapses when Simon comes home in the middle of the night and seems to be a different person. Slowly, Leo’s carefully constructed world starts to fall apart.
I’m Not Here is a story of dedication and betrayal, of two people who are flawed in their own way, but try their hardest to get noticed, to love and to live.
