Overdue

comedy · Short Films · english

The protagonist goes about his day, from one task to another. However, a constant presence never leaves him alone, insidiously hovering over his shoulder all along. It doesn't matter if he stands before a mirror, or a sink doing mundane chores, the other man is forever present.

Despite the premise, a man following another and appearing most unexpectedly and strangely, its treatment remains lighthearted and easy, ensuring that no sinister underpinnings define the story. Devoid of any dialogue until the very end, the plot continues to develop.

When the first and only verbal exchange arrives, the mystery is finally cleared. The end product is simple, direct, and though marked by a few rough edges, remains sweet, and sincere in its intentions.
