A woman named Barbara sits alone a table after her retirement party. A gift box sits in front of her, but she's reluctant to open it due to the circumstances around the giver. By the time she returns home to her husband, the box and the ideas she conjures around it are propelling her to a confrontation. After so many decades of marriage, some hard truths need to be expressed.
So she thinks. Her husband may strongly disagree.
Directed, Written and Co-Produced by Arthur Helterbran Jr., a Wisconsin native who earned his MFA in Film Directing from the California Institute of the Arts, On Paper is a poignant film. Helterbran employs lighting and empty space to evoke a type of isolation that can arise in marriage when a couple is not honest with each other for many years.
