Lost in Communication

By Skwaaa with 6.3

drama · Short Films · english

Breakdown of communication between two people is a fate more cruel than several other, and the short film becomes an exploration of the same assertion. It engages with the life of a loving couple, alongside which is a parallel narrative of the man sharing their soon-to-occur problems with a therapist. The two plot-lines emerge simultaneously, presenting forth an underlying tension which would soon become strong enough to cause a deep rift between the lovers.

The second half of the story is marked by these anxieties as the narrative moves forth to reveal a disturbing development. The conclusion ties itself with the film's core premise and intention, allowing it to come a full circle. However, the ending undercuts some of the expectations set by the story itself of being non-formulaic so far. Perhaps a few tweaks in this aspect would have allowed its interaction with the subject another layer and dimension.
