SYNOPSIS
3. Twelve twenty
You see her checking in at the opposite check-in counter. You cannot help yourself but falling in love immediately. You get your boarding pass but she is gone. You go through immigration. You buy your wife her favorite perfume. Then you go and relax in the first class lounge waiting to board. You shut your eyes. You wake up and realize you are already on the plane. Your heart stops. She is sitting in the seat next to you, by the window. You and her will spend the next twelve hours and twenty minutes reading, drinking, eating, watching movies and sleeping by each other’s side- just like a married couple. In fact, you won’t even have a word with each other. Bon voyage!
DIRECTING INTENTION
Originally, we wanted to explore this micro love story in its real time, which is twelve hours and twenty minutes. But we abandoned the idea when we learn that this was supposed to be a short film.
