In the middle of a crowded city the paths of two strangers, a man and a woman, collide. This accidental, chance occurrence sets in motion a chain of events that sees the two strangers embark on a night of adventure and connection that challenges their separate lives. Ellipsis is a film about the random nature of life and human interaction and the small choices that can set our course. Set in Sydney over the course of one night, it is also a portrait of the city and its inhabitants. The film celebrates the distinct nature and idiosyncrasies of the people that live and work there.
