Solicitude

This micro-short film touches on solitude, loneliness, and depression. The character struggles with serious mental health issues and dark thoughts. I'm not sure if it was made during the pandemic era, but it definitely fits that theme. The silent screams, crying, and emotional suffering are powerfully portrayed - especially considering how short the film is. In the end, it delivers an important message we should all remember, one that can truly make a difference.

Since the film feels almost more like a public service message or commercial, it's a bit hard to rate it the same way as a typical short film. But as a message and reminder for today's society - especially in times when loneliness is becoming a growing issue - it works very well.
