Quarantraining

By Jef Figallo with 6.3

comedy · Short Films · english

A stuntwoman is quarantined with her brother who refuses to move away from the couch, video games and heaps of chips packets. However, she is determined to train and well, get him to train along with her. When two such opposing energies collide, can something productive truly come out of it?

The film embraces a humorous approach to explore the answer to the question. The first biggest obstacle is to convince the brother to step outside and start stretching. After overcoming the hurdle of unannounced hunger pangs, they finally begin exercising when a stray punch finds the wrong destination, and thus begins a run and chase of the siblings.

Direct and straightforward in its manner, the film is also sweet. Though it could have gained from more control on its light and visuals, on the whole it comes across as exhibiting the desire to share a day in the life of two siblings as comic relief in a world where the reality of a pandemic has become overpowering and overwhelming.
