SYNOPSIS

A gay couple’s lunch break does not go as planned when they engage in a discussion about how they can renovate their cabin bathroom. They suddenly find themselves in a heated argument which leads to a series of misunderstandings.

Based on a conversation the director had with her wife, «The Half Wall» tells a true story about the difficulties of communication, and how it sometimes leads to stupid and (later) laughable misunderstandings.
