Short Film: Leech (2023)

Synopsis

An old woman watches TV, and we soon see that she’s blind. The young man in the hallway seems to avoid the old woman, and vice-versa. The home healthcare worker stops by and bandages a burn on the old woman’s hand. He suggests that she shouldn’t be living alone.

But she’s not, right? Why don’t the health care workers ever come back for a second visit?

Commentary

It’s very well-acted, and the cinematography is outstanding. We get a pretty good idea of what’s going on right away, but we don’t know why or how this is going to turn out.
