Overview

From Darkness to Darkness is a short film built around a simple but emotionally charged premise: a grounded child faces two kinds of darkness — the fear of failing his school test, and the threat of his father's punishment hanging over him like a permanent sentence. The film uses the confined world of a child under pressure to explore the dynamics of fear, powerlessness, and parental control, suggesting that for some children, the stakes of everyday life feel absolute and inescapable. Compact and tightly wound, From Darkness to Darkness delivers a quietly devastating portrait of childhood trapped between expectation and threat.
