Without is a psychological drama film that focuses on the story of a young woman named Joslyn (played by Joslyn Jensen), who accepts a job as a caretaker for an elderly man named Frank (Ron Carrier) who is in a vegetative state. Joslyn moves to a remote and isolated island to care for Frank in his sprawling estate, which looks out over the ocean and the dense woods surrounding the property.
As Joslyn adjusts to her new job and the solitary lifestyle that comes with it, she starts to become more and more isolated from the world around her. Her interactions with Frank are limited, as he remains in a comatose state throughout her stay. Despite her attempts to stay busy with her duties and hobbies, the monotony of her days begins to wear on her, and she finds herself struggling with feelings of disconnection and loneliness.
As the weeks pass, Joslyn's relationship with Frank becomes more complex. She starts to develop a strange sense of intimacy with him, even though he is unable to respond to her in any way. Her fantasies about Frank start to blur the lines between reality and imagination, and she begins to struggle with her own sense of identity and vulnerability.
Without explores themes of isolation, grief, and sexuality, taking the viewer on a journey through Joslyn's mind as she grapples with the intense emotions that come with caretaking. The film's haunting cinematography and minimalist score create a sense of unease and tension, making it a thought-provoking and immersive viewing experience.
