Cherry

• Drama
• Crime

Driven by a restless energy and visually fragmented storytelling, *Cherry* is a harrowing descent into the post-Iraq War experience filtered through the escalating desperation of a young man grappling with untreated PTSD. The film isn't a conventional war story or crime drama, but rather a stark and unflinching portrayal of addiction as both symptom and cause, charting the protagonist’s spiraling trajectory from hopeful romantic and dedicated medic to heroin-dependent bank robber. Told in distinct, stylistically shifting segments—each mimicking a different genre—the narrative reflects the fractured state of mind of its central character, creating a disorienting yet deeply empathetic experience of self-destruction and a desperate search for connection amidst profound loss. It’s a brutal, non-linear exploration of how trauma can erode identity and transform love into a fragile, fleeting solace.
