Countdown

2014 · 73 min

A slow, intimate chamber piece that pulls you into one man's raw emotional struggle, leaving you drained and thoughtful.

Overview: One room. One man. One decision. Not by many words, but by pure emotion, the movie Countdown gradually, but completely overwhelms the viewer, leading one into a very intimate world of a young man, where an intense battle between his desire for life and an unbearable sense of guilt takes place.
