Clear Day

The easy word for define this film can be intense. It is a real intense short film about a young woman in day of her 30 years old birthday aniversary.

A surprise, animated by good , noble intentions from her boyfriend offers to her anxiety and worry about the reaction of father discovering her relation.

The call sounds but nothing in room.

Another call and the traits, clear , more clear, of a terrible tragedy .

It is a great, superb film for fair - precise reflection of the moment fearing each of us. For profound inspired perspective about a profound significant moment of XXI century.

In short, a film about parents and the connection with them.

A beautifully textured film with top-notch lighting and production design that immerses us into the experience of the characters on a day that starts out special and then transforms into one that can never be forgotten.

When first watching the film, I thought it seemed a little mundane, but the production quality and excellent acting by the two leads kept my attention.

Then comes the incredibly disconcerting midpoint, when both characters walk out of a room, leaving it empty. The phone rings (anchoring the time as prior to smartphones) and no one is there to hear it. Like a falling tree in an empty forest.

What comes next is so nightmarish because it is reality. No melodrama, no fantasies, it is real.
