Best Actress Short Film
It’s 8 p.m. Just as she’s about to leave her apartment, Lise, a freelance graphic designer, receives a phone call from her father. Nothing extraordinary so far… except that he has been dead for two years. He calls to invite her to his birthday. He talks as if nothing happened.
Alone in her apartment, she falters. An absurd conversation begins: funny, tender, and deeply out of sync. Very intrusive, Lise’s father once again wants to keep control and pull his daughter back into his world. Lise struggles not to become her “daddy’s little girl” again.
As the dialogue unfolds, the boundaries between the living and the dead start to blur.
