When She Flies

romance · Short Films · english

Navigating the several complexities of a romantic equation is no easy task, and yet, where would we be without giving a promising relationship every iota of effort and investment we can possibly muster? This the question central to the narrative of the film which introduces us to two characters on a first date. Colourful, brightly-lit visuals of a fare beckon us into their evening marked by their growing intimacy.

The camerawork remains the most seamless and notable aspect of the film which develops further to allow you to participate in the several stages of the romance - from the first kiss, to a confession of their feelings, to the single obstacle that comes to determine its fate.

The story of the two lovers leaves you with no didactic message or banal observations about the nature of love. Instead, the film is simply the exploration of an experience which, in the larger scheme of things and the eventual course of life, would become only a moment in time, and it is with this approach and intention that the narrative is presented forth, sincerely and honestly, for the viewer to engage with.
