“The Door “is a poignant, emotional short film by Irish filmmaker Juanita Wilson, which was a 2010 Academy Award Nominee for Best Live Action Short Film. The film opens with what appears to be a very simple act, the stealing of a door. However, as the film progresses and the narrative unwinds, we discover this act is far more complex than we could have initially imagined. The door is in fact a vital part of a traditional ritual, carried out by a grieving family in the aftermath of the Chernobyl tragedy.

This piece includes color photographs and the award-winning short film.
