Hugo is a boy who lives anchored in the routine, focused on his tasks and responsibilities. Unable to look forward, he lets opportunities pass, stalling in the past. On the contrary, Cosmo is a free soul that lives without looking back, always going from one place to another no matter where. One summer afternoon their gazes cross by chance. It is only an instant, but it will be the birth of a relationship that will make them stop for the first time to live the present.

An instant is a story about friendship, love and the importance of the small moments that endow our lives with meaning.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

“An instant is my most personal project to date. It is a story in which I tried to capture how the passage of time affects our doubts and fears about opening up and expressing our feelings towards someone who attracts us. In this particular short, Hugo is unable to say the right words to Cosmo, a mysterious and charismatic guy he meets by chance. Thus, An instant is not the typical LGBT story that we have all seen a thousand times, but wants to delve into the delicate issues of friendship, desire, lost opportunities and self-deception. ”
