Two young people lying face to face on a weathered wooden surface.

Short Film 2026

Runtime: 20 minutes

Two young filmmakers united by a shared film and a growing connection plan a journey together, but conflicting opportunities pull them in different directions, forcing them into a difficult choice that leads them apart.

This film is my graduation project and a personal manifesto.
It is rooted in the lives of young people around me, in our shared experiences of closeness, uncertainty, and constant movement. The film observes how relationships are shaped under pressure, when external circumstances begin to interfere with internal choices.
Rather than offering escape, it searches for a quiet, realistic hope that exists within tension, distance, and the impossibility of holding on to everything at once.
