The project
Produced by four final-year students of Communication Sciences at the University of Minho, this experimental short film, made within an academic context, has no funding of any kind. Throughout the production, we will incur expenses for props, filming locations, travel and meals for the actors, and wardrobe.
Synopsis
In an undefined space between memory and judgment, an anonymous subject is interrogated after having lived under the dominion of sins. Between fragments of sloth, envy, anger, and pride, time emerges as a constant and oppressive presence, a ticking that echoes like a sentence. As he revisits his choices, the interrogation transforms into a sensory journey through layers of guilt, identity, and loss. Convinced that he has wasted his own life, the subject confronts the possibility that his time is running out.
