    Fully awake

    Or not of course - so no pun intended. The short movie is giving us quite a weird set up - even the main character is not entirely sure what happens or where she is ... who the people are she interacts with. I imagine I missed some clues - so maybe you were able to figure out where this was leading to, before we arrived there. I did not see that ending coming - at least not to that degree.

    On the other hand, maybe it is obvious and I was ... well asleep. No pun intended here either. I am certain you can find quite a few philosophical explanations when it comes to the ending of the short - and they all will be way better than anything I can cook up ... so I will leave you with your own ... research and enjoyment.

    provocative

    A provocative short film at the limit between horror and Sci Fi.

    A young writer prefers , after a delicate event, the refuge of her friends. But she is not alone and the nice caretakers of house , not the most desired house mates , are just ...creepy.

    In short, from a cup of tea , the story proposes a not so ordinary baby - but fascinating one - , the strange attitude of owners of house and an end far to be real comfortable.

    It is a beautiful short film for the fist of suggestions and, especially , for the eccentric end.

    A project, so defined by te girlfriend - wife of caretaker and something real seductive in strange manner.

    In essence, a provocative game of director, seducing the viewer like biyarre couple Susan.
