Short Film - 05.00 Minutes - 2026

Within a secluded maze and rose garden, two strangers enter into an unexpected, playful encounter. What begins as a chance meeting quickly shifts into a flirtatious chase through winding hedges and blooming pathways, where pursuit and disappearance blur the boundaries between curiosity and connection.

As they move deeper into the garden, the chase softens into moments of stillness and closeness, the space between them shifting from distance to something quietly intimate. The garden itself begins to feel less like a setting and more like a memory forming in real time, its beauty holding a subtle unease beneath the surface.

The garden becomes a place of repetition and transformation, where gestures and encounters feel both familiar and slightly displaced, as though the moment is suspended outside of time.
