Shakti

A wry, introspective short about a young man's emotional confusion following loss, where his anxieties about hurting others collide with the messy reality of how people actually respond.

Federico, in his mid-20s, lives alone in Buenos Aires. The day his grandmother dies, he decides to part with his girlfriend. He fears hurting her. However, she is laid-back, feisty and not even close to feeling hurt. He begins obsessing over her unexpected reaction—but then he meets someone else.
