I hid my heart
2025
Short, Student
Synopsis
A young man, fragmented by childhood abuse, dances before a mirror in his mother’s clothes, struggling to overcome the trauma she inflicted upon him. To shield himself from the agony of the past, he secretly removed his own heart as a child and hid it away in a box. His only confidante is a girl who bears her own burden—a brother suffering from mental illness. Together, they embark on a journey of psychological analysis, peering into his shattered psyche to find a path toward healing.
Their fragile peace is shattered when news breaks of a serial killer known as 'The Natural' terrorizing the town. Confronting the killer— a figure embodying the cold absurdity of the world, much like the protagonist in Camus’s The Stranger—the young man decides to slay him as a ritual to break free from the shackles of his past. Accepting the world’s inherent absurdity, the boy and girl head toward the endless sea. On the shore, he buries the heart he had hidden for so long in the sand, finally bidding a definitive farewell to his pain. In the fading light, they perform a free, cathartic dance of healing, marking the dawn of a new life.
