Synopsis

Present is a short film portraying a character at a crucial crossroads where the right choice must be made in the present moment. Each of his actions shapes his life, either leading to its ruin or allowing him to continue. Every decision he makes is informed by the previous moments’ choice, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time, which values the moments lost rather than those yet to come. Time, relentlessly and unyieldingly, stops for no one.

Director's note

"Without time, nothing holds a meaning. Each person is constantly making decisions, and time marks the stamp of approval on each one. Making the right decision in the moment is challenging, often accompanied by mistakes. Time never stops for anyone but continually grounds us in the present."
