SUMMARY
Two strangers meet for the first time at an old gas station. One has stopped to gas up his bike, while the other is just stranded. Lacking money to get home, he will try to sell him the distance that separates them from the sky.
REVIEWS
- An instant attack of tenderness that has one of the most beautiful short film endings that we've seen in a (very) long time.
-
The Distance Between Us and the Sky is a shining example of simple yet elegant filmmaking. One of if not the most striking things about this #shortfilm is its duality. It's a constant moving target from beginning to end, playing between the lines of an erotically charged meet cute and dangerously tense confrontation.
