Cowhouse Film's (@cowhousefilms) beautifully crafted double-hander which exposes us to the crisis point in a young man's life.
Freddie (Alexander Vlahos @vlavla) is facing potentially the hardest struggle of his life but Lily (Sophie Hopkins @ShoppieHopkins) isn't going to give up on him.
Freddie and Lily have seen happier times. He is in a really dark place and knows he can't get through this alone. Lily is strong and supportive; she clearly still loves him.
As viewers we are brought into their lives with a jolt. The film doesn't hold back in showing a man who has hit rock bottom and some scenes are a difficult watch emotionally. This is beautifully juxtaposed with tenderness, intimacy and hope. So much is said without words.
Alexander Vlahos has a talent for conveying pure raw emotion which tears at you. Sophie Hopkins is the calm to his storm, mirroring the characters.
The film has a chronological narrative using dual images, clever use of focus, lighting and wardrobe to reinforce the characters essence.
Most of the scenes are very light on dialogue but the exquisite acting and purpose written soundtrack (by Yellowbelly (@yellowbelly band) conveys the story perfectly.
This short film explores quite an emotional subject but the message of love and hope ushers us through the more difficult scenes.
