Meantime

A young man goes on a holiday to the countryside, where his would-be-peaceful wellness routine is assailed by the terrifying sounds of silence.

City dweller Marc heads to an isolated country house for a vacation. While he awaits the arrival of his girlfriend, he pours himself into a wellness routine to stay fit – and sane. But, gradually, the silence begins to play tricks on him, and he’s soon plunged into a sonic nightmare from which there’s no escape. Guillaume Scaillet’s squeamish horror short wields sound design with unforgettably discomfiting precision, rattling its audience with as much force as he does its protagonist.
