Into the Night

In just 14 minutes, it plays with guilt and the mind’s tricks—diverting the unconscious to create an escape from the burden of atonement.

Nothing is as it seems—or perhaps it’s all so painfully clear that the mind begins to toy with distorted memories, shaping a false reality where nothing bad ever happened, allowing us to retreat into a pseudo-reality we’re too afraid to confront.

The human mind is cruel—just as humans can be. Between desire and the act itself lies a thin line, and once it’s crossed, there’s no turning back. That’s when the mind begins to betray us: with indifference, with denial. And so we start hearing the words we wish others would say, just to ease our conscience.

We long for forgiveness without ever facing our mistakes—clinging to our lies to avoid the truth.

To me, this short film captures that exact thought: where victim and perpetrator meet in the mind, leaving no room for escape.
