About this product
## **Title: SESSION** --- ## **Logline** A man wakes up in captivity with no memory of his crime and is given one chance to survive: uncover the truth about his past and sincerely apologize before time runs out. --- ## **Full Synopsis** *SESSION* follows Dave, a man who regains consciousness in a confined, unfamiliar space where he is being held against his will. Disoriented and afraid, he quickly realizes he is not there by accident. An unseen force is controlling his fate, and survival depends entirely on one condition: he must remember the crime he committed and apologize for it. What begins as a desperate attempt to understand his surroundings soon becomes a psychological journey into his own mind. Dave is forced into a series of emotional “sessions” where fragments of his past begin to resurface. These memories are unstable, fragmented, and deeply traumatic, revealing moments he has long buried or refused to confront. As each memory returns, Dave is confronted with difficult questions about guilt, responsibility, and truth. The more he remembers, the more uncertain he becomes about his own innocence. The captivity he experiences externally mirrors the imprisonment within his own mind, where fear, denial, and regret collide. The narrative unfolds as a psychological unraveling, blending present-day captivity with distorted flashbacks that gradually reveal the truth behind his situation. Every revelation pushes Dave closer to a final confrontation with himself. In its climax, *SESSION* challenges Dave—and the audience—to decide whether redemption is possible without full acceptance of one’s past actions. --- ## **Themes** * Guilt and accountability * Trauma and memory repression * Psychological confinement * Redemption and forgiveness * The nature of truth and self-deception --- ## **Tone and Style** The film is a psychological thriller with a dark, intense, and introspective tone. It prioritizes atmosphere and emotional tension over action, focusing on character psychology and narrative suspense. Visual storytelling alternates between minimalistic, claustrophobic present-day scenes and fragmented, emotionally charged flashbacks. Sound design plays a key role in reflecting Dave’s unstable mental state, using silence, distortion, and subtle auditory cues to heighten tension. --- ## **Genre** Psychological Thriller --- ## **Target Audience** *SESSION* is aimed at audiences who enjoy character-driven psychological thrillers and emotionally complex narratives. It appeals to viewers interested in films that explore memory, morality, and the human psyche. --- ## **Production Details** * **Country of Origin:** Uganda * **Language:** English * **Filming Location:** Kampala, Uganda * **Production Company:** Axtra NationFilm.amg --- ## **Credits** * **Director:** Avion King * **Writer:** Avion King --- ## **Technical Specifications** * **Runtime:** 55 minutes * **Format:** Color --- ## **Release Information** * **Release Date:** March 5, 2023 (Uganda) --- ## **Tagline** Dead men keep no secrets. --- ## **Director’s Statement** *SESSION* is designed as a psychological exploration of guilt and memory. The film places the audience inside the fractured mind of a man forced to confront truths he may not be ready to accept. It explores how the human mind protects itself through denial, and how suppressed trauma can distort reality. The story is not just about what happened in the past, but about the emotional weight of remembering it. At its core, *SESSION* asks a simple but unsettling question: can a person truly be free without facing the truth of who they are? --- ## **Final Note** This project is built around performance, psychological tension, and storytelling precision. It is intended to create an immersive emotional experience that lingers beyond the runtime.
