The Pause of Time

By Achilles Tsoutsis with 6.5

romance · Short Films · french

Anna and John were once lovers. However, the two artists, a dancer, and a writer, respectively, parted ways long ago when they felt the relationship had run its course.

On the day the film opens, they are meeting again after all this time, to not only reflect on their failures and unfulfilled dreams, but also on the nature of time, and its inexorable, eternal movement forward. Alongside it, there's a discussion around the nature of their relationship that unfolds as well. The former lovers philosophize, ponder and somewhere along the way, find a moment of synchronized union amidst it all.

The final result of the narrative is a sincere, dedicated endeavor, that portrays all of this for the viewer in a quiet, mellow manner. The performances remain notable aspects of the film.
