A story that most, if not all, women can relate to. All Anne wants to do is get home to her daughter after a long day at work, but an uncomfortable encounter with a man at the bus stop leaves her scared and not knowing what to do.

The film is shot beautifully with tight framing adding to the intensity and feeling of claustrophobia. The acting is also great with James Nelson-Joyce increasing the tension with the slightest change in facial expressions hinting at the arrogance and potential malice bubbling under the surface.

A very impactful and tense short film that leaves you wondering what happened next and, sadly, thinking the answer may not be good.

A young woman, after job program, in bus stop, prepairing to return to home. Late hour, a guy who tries to flirt , in more and more agressive manner, and the precise configurated tension by the vulnerability of lady - and her reactions - and the impertinence of man, conscient by fragile situation of woman and treating her as prey.

The myin virtue is the high realism in the case of this story. A simple story , with powerful final , a confrontation between tired , afraid woman and a cynic man .

Nothing new but admirable crafted scene by scene, the acting representing one of fundamental good points.
