- Synopsis
- Off Track unfolds over a single day aboard a train, interwoven with flashbacks to the months leading up to this pivotal journey. Eli, a guarded organisational psychologist, and Nick, a charismatic but emotionally avoidant literature teacher, once found comfort in each other's friendship through a hiking group and a shared fascination with a self-help author’s ideas on masculinity and vulnerability.
  
  Now, separated by silence, miscommunication, and unspoken pain, they are forced into close proximity — quite literally “off track” — as their train journey becomes a microcosm of their fractured relationship. Through layered dialogue, moments of unexpected humour, and the quiet symbolism of a passed-down compass, Off Track explores how men say the things they’re too afraid to speak aloud, and how sometimes the journey toward reconnection requires getting a little lost.
