Head Over Heels

When Walter comes across a long-lost memento of their wedding day, he tries to reignite their old romance. But their comfortable equilibrium comes crashing down, and Walter and Madge must overcome their old habits or face the disintegration of their marriage.

I imagined two people sharing a staircase like that and began to wonder who they were and how they ended up that way. These characters developed into Walter and Madge, a married couple who have grown apart over the years.

We chose a midcentury modern look, which allowed us to play with the horizontal symmetry of the interiors, and suggested that it was built in the sixties, when our characters got married. But to give a more vintage feel we also borrowed from Frank Lloyd Wright’s wooden interiors. 

So the construction features thousands of hand-cut floorboards and handcrafted scale furniture to add texture to the surroundings and enhance the film’s homey atmosphere.
