Aevolum Cinema Presents · 65 minutes
Four films about people with nowhere to go. A businessman trapped in a glass lift with a stranger who may be a killer. A girl who discovers that the cruelest person in her life is carrying a wound she never expected. A child spending an afternoon with a father she barely knows — and cannot leave. A man racing across the desert with a secret that is already closing in. No clean exits. Just the moment when there is only one direction left.
