In short:
During is a poetic film about mourning and connection and the role of memories. We follow two sisters, Yvonne (around 50-60) and Loes (around 40-50), who are cleaning out their parental home. The film examines the relationship between the sisters and the role patterns of the past that stand in the way of their connection to each other.
During the conversation between the sisters, the sisters' memories of the past take on a life of their own, taking the viewer along in the nostalgic feelings. The viewer, just like the sisters, is searching for the role of the past in the present. Which raises the following question: when are you really together and present in the present?

Practical:
- 8 minutes short film
- continuous scene in one room

We are a team of enthusiastic young makers, this project is a second year film for the HKU (FILM program, formerly AVM). It is about two equal main characters, with a lot of room for play, dialogue and the dynamics between the two players.
We would also like to explore with you what the characters mean to you, and to explore them further, in order to include your knowledge in this as well.

Description
We are looking for two actors to play the roles of Yvonne and Loes.
There will be a lot of dialogue, the tone calls for a naturalistic play.

Yvonne (50-60):
Yvonne is a driven woman. She has put a lot of time into her career her whole life, which has given her a lot of satisfaction. She finds independence important, also in her relationship. She has two children with her husband, who have since left home. She always had a clear goal in her life, now that she has achieved that goal, she wonders whether she has gotten everything out of life. She has a great sense of responsibility, which makes her strict with herself and has difficulty handing over control. She can sometimes feel quite lonely in this, because she has to express herself well to those close to her.

Loes (40-50):
Loes has chosen a less traditional path, had difficulty settling in the area, she has travelled a lot and lived in different places, always had difficulty settling somewhere, the parental home was always a place to return to, a certainty that she now has to say goodbye to. She has had a long relationship that ended in friendship last year. She can be alone well but also misses a kind of stability, also because she never got around to having children.
