A young woman returns home after a day in the town. Buzzing with excitement, she dances around the apartment and takes a call on her mobile phone. She receives a warning but treats it as a joke, but then the phone cuts dead. Outside, the city disappears and the void penetrates the world. Disbelief turns to an encounter with the Void & the girl getting infected with darkness herself. Trapped in the kitchen, she empties the fridge and huddles inside. Will she live or will she die?
‘Void’ is a short horror film that uses a remorseless black void as a metaphor for the COVID-19 lockdown and what it also has brought about. The film encourages and deals with resilience in the face of adversity and shows that life always goes on, no matter what.
Directed by Dagmar Scheibenreif (UK)
