Festival selections The Norwegian Short Film Festival 2025 - World Premiere Aigio International Short Film Festival "Theodoros Angelopoulos" 2025, Greece Director's Statement The short film is a story about a father’s revenge—about those who disappear. I chose to use long takes for the storytelling because this represents the final moments between two men—trapped in time, bound by their past. Grievances and grudges, right and wrong… in the end, they all fade away like flowing water, vanishing without a trace.
