Beyond the Blue

Written and Directed by: Elena Sala

Produced by: Syed Ayub and Laura Torenbeek

Beyond the Blue is a short film that I co-produced with Syed Ayub. The film is written and directed by Elena Sala and is a graduation film from the Northern Film School.

Henry gets lost in a crowded fair. Unaware of the potential danger of his situation, Henry stares amazed at everything around him, but one element gets his full attention: the big carousel. As he is absorbed by this image, someone runs towards him: Ann, a woman that takes Henry home where she looks after his well-being. Beyond the Blue reflects on the importance of childhood and the problem that these characters encounter in their lives: the absence of the father.

Absorto en la imagen del tiovivo en una feria, Henry no es consciente del peligro de la situación. Es Ann quien lo rescata y lo lleva a casa, donde juntos atravesarán la difícil tarea de enfrentarse a la ausencia de un padre.
