Soap opera in 15 minutes

In a Time for Sleep is a short that is hard to be reviewed if one asks my opinion. While watching it, I had a feeling that I watched the first act of a cheesy soap opera.

Clearly the strongest points of the film are cinematography (towards the end) and colours. The actors were sort of OK, but I really could not feel their despair after they shared a secret.

"Sleep" looks like good and has a great audio, yet it almost gave nothing for me as I proved to be totally indifferent to its story.

I would be curious how the writer/director performed in the area of a totally different genre since he has great talent, but seemingly has been stuck in a style that he might not be able to fully perform.
