The short opens in an elevator, where an elegant young woman appreciates her undisputed beauty in the mirror. As the doors open, the woman – with confidence – strolls through an isolated car park. Without trepidation, she revolts against the threatening antagonists with her superpowers – before leaping onto a white horse – symbolising her unrestrained freedom. Within a blink of an eye, the horse converts into a luxury sports car. The film concludes with the text: “Act like you think… think like you are”.
Noa Drisdale delivers an appealing portrayal throughout, despite the admittance of character dialogue – a supreme embodiment of vigorousness and conviction. Cinematography (Julien Lambert) is accomplished with expert proficiency that is certain to keep viewers engaged. Lighting and post-production is equally commendable. An unmissable micro-short. Highly recommended.
