Sunday, to escape the news from Ukraine, we drove to Savor Cinema to watch the live action short films that have been nominated for an Academy Award.
The first, from Denmark, was about a man whose wife is in the hospital on life support. The second, from the U.S., was about an innocent man who gets put into an automated prison where his only communication is with a computer screen. The third, from Poland, was about a dwarf who works as a chambermaid in a roadside motel and longs to experience love. The fourth, from the U.K, was about an extended immigrant family that gets rounded up by a paramilitary or neo-Nazi group and shot in the street. The fifth, from Switzerland, but set in Kyrgyzstan, was about a young woman who is kidnapped to be a bride. In this one, at least, the scenery was beautiful.
