We kept warm

About This Movie

We Kept Warm is an intriguing blend of drama and fantasy, capturing a deeply personal struggle through a unique lens. Nemo, the protagonist, embodies the isolation many feel, and her various coping mechanisms—cooking, makeup, and knitting—are depicted with an almost tactile intimacy. The pacing is deliberate, pulling you into her world while the chaos outside becomes increasingly palpable. Apa Agbayani’s direction adds a dreamlike quality, enhancing the sense of disconnection between Nemo's internal and external realities. The practical effects employed create a tangible atmosphere, grounding the surreal elements. The performances, particularly from the lead, evoke a raw sincerity that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s a film that invites contemplation about grief and the human experience, without resorting to typical tropes.
