The In Between is a 2022 American paranormal romance film directed by Arie Posin, written by Marc Klein, and starring Joey King and Kyle Allen.
In a flashback set 182 days before, Tessa spends the morning taking photos in the coastal town, wandering into the local theater to watch a classic French film.
After the fireworks, Tessa shows Skylar her darkroom, portfolio and opens up about her mother's abandonment, forcing her into the foster care system.
Tessa tells her friend Shannon about the In Between, the concept of a window of time in which a recently deceased person needs final contact before moving on.
Sitting the SAT, weirdly Skylar moves her hand on her answer sheet to draw what seems to be a non-sensical scribble.
The built-in GPS in her adopted mother's car shows Tessa the same route she had scribbled on her SAT sheet.
Tessa discovers Skylar is going to Oregon to support his father for the year, leaving her on the East coast.
After buying special photography equipment, Shannon drives Tessa to the places she and Skylar had most closely connected, hoping to reconnect.
At home, Tessa's adoptive parents are on top of her, she collapses, and in the hospital she's told her heart needs to be repaired the next day.
Shannon sneaks her out, with Skylar's help (he manipulates some electronics, distracting the nurses, then guides them to the site of the accident).
As paramedics attend Tessa's collapsed body, reunited with Skylar briefly, they are in Paris, in black and white, like the Doisneau print Le baiser.
