THE QUEUE

Short film | 17 minutes

Two strangers have a chance encounter while waiting in a queue. Forming an unlikely partnership, they navigate a city on the brink of collapse and - even more dangerously - the ever shifting dynamic between each other.  

The Queue explores the limits of trust and morality when living in a society that forces you to the edge. Serving as a reminder that as long as the game is rigged, we are all set to lose.
