Still Voices Short Film Festival

Offseason

Two people wake up on a deserted beach in the aftermath of a curious incident - they don’t remember how they got there nor who the other is. On the foreground of a broken car radio obsessively running the same tune, the clues start to unravel one by one, until the characters eventually realise what brought them together. As the tension rises, we can see there is no turning back and one of them has to face the consequences of their actions. The fine lines between victim and perpetrator are starting to blur and the audience is invited to pick up the remaining pieces of the puzzle.
