27 Steps

About This Movie

27 Steps is a raw, intimate documentary that captures a very personal moment in time. It unfolds during the first day of the Corona lockdown, when the director’s father is taken by ambulance, leading to his passing shortly after. The film zeroes in on the mother-daughter relationship, encapsulated in their small apartment. There’s an almost claustrophobic feel to it, with the 49 square meters serving as both a sanctuary and a prison. The phone calls with the outside world create a poignant contrast, emphasizing their isolation. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with the grief and confusion. It’s a distinctive look at loss during a global crisis, marked by its unfiltered emotion and profound sense of intimacy.
