Missing Piece
(15/07/2024)
In a world in which individuals are literally connected by torso-covering jigsaw pieces, Norma feels like she's the only single person alive. Pressured by those connected in a board game café, Norma attaches to an overeager stranger, causing her to reflect on her desires.
Filmed on one cartridge of super 8mm film, this short was an entry in the Straight8 2024 competition.
