United States
2024
110 mins

When a melancholic construction worker finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter, he discovers community and purpose in a local theater’s production of Romeo and Juliet. As the drama onstage starts to mirror his own life, he and his family are forced to confront a personal loss, in directing duo Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson’s tender Sundance drama.

A moving portrait of grief, finding your tribe, and the power of unexpected connections, Ghostlight will unlock your empathy and make you believe in the power of storytelling to bring us all together.
