Even in the most hostile of environments and conditions. Man’s nature to extinct all that surrounds him for self-gain is his undoing. Condemned to death by a truly horrifying illness, two children find solace in the world that exists outside of them, by the offerings of life seen through a window in a facility that contains them. One of them, Romeo, explains what he sees to his companion, Juliet. But hearing is not enough for Juliet who wants THE WINDOW all to herself – no matter what the cost!

Made for just £120 and shot on a £69 pound 200-line resolution camera, this haunting and energetic short shows many multi-million dollar how it should be done. Filmed in a disorientating lilac tinted monochrome, it features dizzying camerawork and a genuine atmosphere of unease that marks out director Rao as a talent to watch for.
