Alex and her boyfriend Joey head into the wilderness for a romantic getaway. When Alex turns down Joey's surprise proposal, he abandons her in the woods. She’s rescued by Kianna and Matt, an enigmatic young couple living off the grid. Stranded and shaken, Alex accepts their invitation to stay at their remote campsite. As she’s drawn into their intoxicating world, complicated emotions and unexpected connections begin to surface. But when she learns they’re fugitives wanted for a string of violent bank robberies, Alex must navigate the blurred lines between desire, loyalty, and survival.
“A Safe Distance” is a sapphic psychological thriller with a sharp feminist edge, a slow burn exploration of power, intimacy, and the seductive pull of reinventing yourself.
This queer coming-of-age horror film is what happens when the star-crossed passion of Heated Rivalry and the unsettling atmosphere of It Follows collide. (Frameline)
