Directed by Matan Inbar-Hansen, this evocative drama plunges viewers into a brief but intense moment of human connection. The film centers on a chance encounter that disrupts the quiet equilibrium of two strangers, played with raw vulnerability by Peter Malmquist and Heidi Lechner.

A poetic and immersive study of the human condition, this short film is a quiet, resonant piece for those who appreciate character-driven storytelling at its most distilled.
