Another February
Director: Tobias Ervolder

Synopsis: Another February is an intense one-take short film that follows a married couple in real time on a seemingly romantic hike up Himmelbjerget. What begins as a loving gesture gradually transforms into a psychological confrontation, as a secret affair and years of silence force their way to the surface. With no cuts and no escape routes, both the characters and the audience are compelled to stay in the moment as the relationship crumbles before our eyes. The film is an intimate and painful story about the repetitions of love and how difficult it is to break them.
