The Near Future

About This Movie

The Near Future is a quiet exploration of a day in the life of Robin, a French immigrant pilot. The atmosphere is heavy with introspection, painted through subtle performances that draw you into Robin's crumbling psyche. The pacing is deliberate, almost dreamlike, allowing moments of silence to hang in the air, amplifying his internal turmoil. You can feel the weight of the phone call he receives; it’s like a ripple that disturbs the surface of his seemingly mundane day. Practical effects are minimal, which makes the emotional states feel raw and immediate. It’s a film that uses the ordinary to reveal the extraordinary pain lurking beneath, and it lingers long after the credits roll.
