Reflections in the Dust is a post-apocalyptic movie from 2018 that takes place in a barren landscape devoid of all signs of life. The film follows two main characters, a lone survivor (Robin Royce Queree) and a mutant (Sarah Houbolt) that she encounters and befriends along the way. The film is set in a desolate world, where the survivors of an unknown catastrophe are forced to do whatever it takes to survive. The protagonist, a man who has been alone for years, is on the brink of desperation and the verge of giving up hope until he stumbles upon a feral mutant girl who seems to have no memory of what happened to her. In an instant, the man must decide whether to help her or leave her to die.

The girl, on the other hand, is confused, afraid and awestruck when she first encounters the man. She has never seen another human before, and the man is initially wary of her, but slowly comes to embrace her as his only source of companionship in a world where every other living being is dead or mutated.

The two protagonists embark on a perilous journey together, traversing a treacherous environment fraught with danger at every turn. When they come across other survivors, they are not always welcomed with open arms, and these interactions are often tense and threatening.

The cinematography in Reflections in the Dust is bleak and beautiful, with wide panoramic shots of a lifeless landscape and intimate closeups of the two protagonists. The film's score is haunting and dark, complementing the lonely and barren world that the characters inhabit.

The movie touches on many themes, including isolation, grief, and the indomitable human spirit. It explores the idea of survival, not just in the context of finding food and shelter in a wasteland, but in the survival of the human spirit and the hope that one day this world will recover and flourish again.

What makes this movie stand out is the relationship between the two main characters. Despite their differences, they form a deep and meaningful bond that is beautiful to watch unfold. This bond is tested several times throughout the film, and each time the two protagonists rise to the challenge, becoming stronger as a result.

Overall, Reflections in the Dust is a bleak yet beautiful movie that explores the many facets of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. It is a thought-provoking and emotionally moving film that will stay with the viewer long after the credits roll.
