Throughout the 9-minute short, 15-year-old Theo wanders the desolate streets of Sweden in a state of melancholy. The viewer is treated to Theo’s inner most thoughts, through voice-over, as he speaks of his longing for connection amidst an uncertain world. We learn of his grandfathers passing and his 6-month separation from his father. ‘Blue Hour’ is a startling watch with an eerie apocalyptic tone. Despite its sorrowful narrative, the film is deeply poetic with climbing hope throughout.
