Swing

Swing is an experimental short film set on a nearly deserted beach, where two men navigate the fragile boundary between presence and disconnection. First, absorbed in his smartphone, ignores Second, who is desperate for attention and connection. Their unspoken struggle intensifies around a lonely beach swing—an object that becomes both a symbol of longing and a stage for laughter, frustration, and provocation.
