The film, a thriller that employs shadows and an attempted eerie background score to drive its audience deeper into its darkness, is the story of a single night. As a girl finds herself unable to sleep during a loudly stormy night, she resorts to calling up a friend for some companionship. <br><br> However, while she remains alone at home, an unknown visitor finds himself making his way to her garden, to eventually break into her house. The film endeavours to blur the lines between reality and dreams, and make the viewer question their own understanding of the events that have unfolded before them.

The Call | Lockdown Film Challenge

The film is an endearing and innocent narrative about the struggle between pursuing a dream and choosing a rational, safer route for the benefit of others. It achieves the same by taking the viewer into the story of a young woman on the day of an important entrance result, while also embellishing itself with poetry to communicate its core emotion.
