Title: Once in a Blue Moon
Storyline: In this emotionally charged independent short film, 16-year-old Pavel is drawn back into a traumatic memory from his past.
When he returns to the family basement, he finds his brother still locked away—unchanged from the last time Pavel saw him years ago.
The film explores themes of emotional repression, domestic abuse, and identity within a fractured family environment.
Pavel is a complex role, shaped by years of fear, silence, and emotional suppression. Navigating his carefully constructed world as the “appropriate” son, he struggles with internalized guilt, disconnection from his true self, and a buried need for freedom.
