BriefExplanation

This is the story of a boy and a girl who meet and fall in love right after they both choose to get rid of their very obvious flaws. In a short-movie we discover that, eventually, our flaws will always be stronger than any of our attempts to hide them. So why not embrace, enjoy them and keep the world as it’s meant to be: beautifully flawed?

Solution

Chapter two, “Keep the World Flawed”, picked up the thread and crafted a narrative spanning 3 years, telling two stories that intertwine and come together. The pacing of the narrative goes hand in hand with the song “What’s a matter baby” by Small Faces, allowing for two crescendos in both visual and emotional impact: as the story accelerates, so do the cuts, as scene after scene whizzes by without losing the thread.

Acting direction played a pivotal role in setting the emotional tone of the movie, allowing the characters to come to life in their relationship with their flaws as their choices unraveled on screen. In the end, we found out that flaws always win.
