The year is 1954, and a lonely young woman yearns for the return of the man who left her alone. When an encounter at a consignment shop leads to the discovery of an ominous box, it seems that happiness may finally be within her grasp. However, a glimpse into another world reveals that all may not be as clear as it once seemed....
In style and mood, "Consignment" is a love letter to the dark, dramatic films of the 1950s, and to the exaggerated reality expressed in those films.
Thematically, "Consignment" is a film about objects, and people as objects – of desire, of memory, of longing. Objects which can be owned and possessed, consigned and held, or carelessly discarded by an indifferent heart.
- Justin Hannah, director
