#122 - Capsules [short] (2017)

"Told entirely to a somber piano score with no words that we can hear, capsules tells the story of a world where people can only experience emotions through prescribed pills.

One day a couple want to take there relationship to the next level by taking 'love' pills. What follows is a melancholic journey into the effects slowly dulling in one of them, the saturated and glowing oranges of the drug high dissipating into dour grey and smudgy realism as the effects dull. 

As the desperation to keep the feeling leads to more and more of the drug being ingested, the other partner unaware of the emotional struggles of the other, we are led to a sad but uplifting ending of personal understanding"
