"We should give due recognition to a truly grave hurt that can unfold, within established relationships, when there is almost no touch left between the parties"

Commissioned by the School of Life, we created a short film tackling a common problem in established relationships, where the lack of touch and communication between partners leads to feeling lonely and rejected.

We used basic shapes as a visual metaphor for unexpressed feelings. The less couples communicate, the bigger these shapes get, forming an obstacle and creating distance between them. But once both partners start sharing their feelings, the shapes scale down bringing the couple closer together.
