Working tirelessly on a Christmas commercial, a filmmaker is constantly plagued by memories of his childhood as a star acting in similar projects and a traumatic experience, which leads him to develop a quiet but strong resentment for the festive season and humanity. But when the young actor in his production captures his attention, he is forced to finally confront his demons.
Father
After the pandemic isolated him from his normal life and friends, a boy must deal with the unbearable dullness of a new life at home, the hurtful and escapist trappings of nostalgia, and distorted perceptions of life and his family through seeking the colors that defined the best years of his youth. A zero-budget experimental short film that expresses universal feelings of loss, paranoia, and hope the world experienced during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic through some abstract scenarios and sounds.
