Film Description:
“EarlyBird” is a short film about the mid-life crisis of a woman who begins to question her purpose; facing various doubts inherent to this period of life, with the fear of not having enough time to fulfil her dreams.
She deals with the fact that she hasn’t had children, with ageing, the lack of confidence to face new challenges, with the fear of society’s judgment when expressing her individuality and with the uncertainties related to her future.
These doubts consume her to the point that she realizes that she can no longer be trapped in this spiral of thoughts that limit her and decides to live in the present, focusing on the “here and now” with all her courage and determination.
