Plot:
On one side is a deep abyss, on the other side is a cliff. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in danger, with life and death just around the corner. Should she sit and wait for death, or fight for survival? She used her broken limbs to explore the possibility of survival, but in such a desperate situation, the weather was not good, and a rainstorm was coming... This film was shot by Australian director Tim Egan. It took only 8 hours from the initial concept to the shooting script. The short film script was inspired by two key moments in the director's life-a serious car accident and a conversation with a depressed friend. "I still remember the feeling of my fingers on the wet road." At that time, he was knocked down on the lane of a busy traffic center, lying helplessly between the asphalt and asphalt, and could be run over by the second car at any time. It is undeniable that the director's personal experience has given him a more real understanding of the fear of death and the instinct to survive. The film's details are well portrayed, and every action of the characters is a matter of life and death. While sharing this suffocating atmosphere, the inner strength is so vulnerable to the harsh external conditions. With this dark minimalist short film, Tim Egan won the 2016 New York Tribeca Film Festival Official Choice Award, the Best Short Film Award at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain, the Fantastic Fest in the United States, the Golden Eye Award at the PIFFF Film Festival in France, and the Best Short Film Award at the TIFF Film Festival in Russia, among many other awards.
