These shorts unearth hidden truths, forbidden desires, and moments of quiet revelation—stories that unfold in secrecy, between what is spoken and what is left unsaid. In Julian and the Wind, a sleepwalking episode unsettles the boundaries between reality and dreams for two boarding school roommates. Fieras (The Rage) captures the weight of unspoken feelings as young Fabián experiences the first stirrings of desire, ignited by the older boys around him. In Saigon Kiss, the chaos of a city’s rush hour provides the backdrop for an electrifying, chance encounter between two young women, where a broken motorbike leads to something unexpected. Before Then plays with language and memory—where a Chinese poem can sound like an English letter, and secrets are both unveiled and buried in the same breath. This programme explores the power of what remains hidden, from the quiet intimacy of a boarding school night to the unacknowledged pull of first desire and the fleeting intensity of a chance meeting. In a world where secrecy is both protection and constraint, these stories reveal what lingers just beneath the surface.
