Rosé is a 45-year-old actress without a job. Now living alone seeks to return to the active. After his dream is realized, a new global pandemic haunts his life.

Synopsis:

Rosé is a 45-year-old actress without a job. Now living alone seeks to return to the active.
After his dream is realized, a new global pandemic haunts his life. Closed at home and increasingly lonely, the passage of time makes her doubt herself, losing the ability to distinguish reality from imagination. The biggest problem starts when someone wants to kill you.

 

Call me Real is a cinematographic project that addresses life during the pandemic, seeking to reflect on the psychological and emotional effects of isolation.

It is a film focused around a character, an actress, with past trauma, who gets her first job in a long time, and finally sees her dreams come true.

But a pandemic forces it to be confined and isolated. Over time, your mental health will worsen, fear and doubt increase to the point where you can no longer distinguish reality from imagination.

In the genre of psychological drama, suspense and terror we will address several themes, the first being life and routine during the pandemic, and representing the character's exhausting and monotonous life, and the impact that confinement has on people, especially on the psychological issue. We will also represent your loneliness and depression and how alcoholism and smoking are havens for forgetting emotional problems.

It is a short film that will explore the theme of memory and life, and in three phases we propose to present youth and dreams, according to being an adult and doubt, third to old age and despair. And to value the importance of dreams and goals in building happiness and future memory.

Focused mainly on the question of the identity crisis that the character will question throughout the film, and how doubt and fear in the form of terror will increase this suspense.

Consequently, the actress will see projections that make her afraid of what may happen.

It is a project mainly about happiness and memory that will talk about psychological issues, these are themes that most of us are confronted with during our life. And I want to emphasize that it is important to dream and feel good, happy with us, and that all our insecurities and fears can be overcome and that we must give due importance to psychological issues, especially with everything that is happening in the present.

 

Thanks.
