In a quiet suburban backyard, six-year-old Lilly spends a carefree morning soaring on her favorite swing while her father pushes her higher and higher toward the clouds. Inside the house, her mother Cherie struggles with devastating news and the impossible task of explaining it to her young daughter. As the day unfolds, Lilly and her father still play-telling riddles, sharing stories, and promising he'll always be there when she needs him. While Cherie prepares Lilly for a difficult goodbye, the line between imagination, memory, and something more mysterious begins to blur. "The Swing" is a tender and haunting short film about childhood innocence, the weight of grief, and the quiet places where love refuses to disappear.
