A brilliant case of terminal movie-making here (see Schenker's article 'On the Terminal in Cinema' in Senses of Cinema nr 47). This adooooorable short film manages to carry you in suspension of disbelief through a story with a double retelling while it simultaneously makes you painfully aware of the (amateurish) conditions of its production. Chapeau!
Synopsis with spoilers ahead
Story one is I filmed her because I loved her. Story two is I filmed her because I kept forgetting to care for her. Story three is wow, I love this camera, look how much fun it is to edit and re edit and dub and slow-motion this footage of my... unbearably painful heartbreak.
