Viewers are introduced to Jan through his self-deprecating voice-over narration. We learn of his mundane and repetitive existence – both professionally and personally. The drama acts as a witty character study, unravelling his internal woes and subsequent hopes. After a close friend nudges Jan closer to resignation – which hilariously backfires – he finds himself in a chilling predicament in order to pursue his calling. A funny, albeit poignant watch.
Pavlo Lykhoviter deserves high praise and acclaim for stellar direction and for his mesmerizing portrayal as the lead. Esteban Die’s adept cinematography is more-than-certain to keep viewers hooked to the unfolding action – as will the accomplished editing (which gives the film a dramatic heartbeat). The overall short can easily be mistaken for an intro to a feature-length cinematic production. Unmissable viewing. Highly recommended.
