Write a short summary of what happens in the film
In a film set entirely within the confines of a lift, we follow two people who fall in love, without the other ever knowing.
We gain insight into their thoughts by way of subtitles. They plot and scheme ways to break the ice, without ever opening their mouths. And that quickly becomes the central conflict. Their overthinking holds them from acting on their desires.
The film is an intimate and often awkward look into the heads of two people paralysed by their own thoughts. And by the end, we wish nothing more than they’d “Step out of their head.”
Cultural/Context information for the jury
Knowing that 80% of viewers on social media views video without sound, the protagonist's thoughts are displayed as subtitles. This engages viewers through its almost 5 minute runtime.
Furthermore, by using the confined space of a lift and an equally confining aspect ratio, the film aids the viewer in sharing the awkwardness that fuels the conflict of the film.
