Title: The Auction
Storyline: 'The Auction' is a psychological horror short film exploring the emotional toll of grief, love, and the haunting cost of letting go.
Samira, a grieving doctor, is unable to accept her partner Daniel’s imminent death. She receives an eerie invitation to a surreal auction, where she must choose between preserving Daniel’s body or his mind.
As she chooses to keep his soul, her decision brings terrifying consequences. Daniel’s identity begins to fade, merging memory with imagination, and blurring the lines of reality. As her partner’s self erodes, so too does Samira’s grip on her own identity and sanity.
