Silent Things

DIRECTED BY CHERIDA ZHUPALI   |   U.K.   |   2021   |   7MIN     

This screenplay follows the main character Hannah who is a 20-year-old female as she struggles to find a peaceful place to relax and read her book outside on a sunny day. Hannah is faced with multiple obstacles that prevent her from finding this peaceful place, these obstacles include planes taking off, trains arriving at the station and nearby construction work. Hannah gets increasingly aggravated and annoyed as the plot develops and as she is continually faced with these disruptions. She finds moments of peace occasionally throughout the story when she sits in the sun and when she watches the water, but these are ultimately disrupted by the noise of the world around her. The story concludes with Hannah thinking she has found a place to sit but she is once again disturbed and we see Hannah storm off camera defeated.
