Out There

Drama, UK, 7mins In Lucy's meticulously routine world, solitude is both a comfort and a prison. Her daily ritual—a peaceful session of reading in a neighbourhood park—is her one connection to a vibrant world she's too lonely to be a part of. But one Summer morning, an unexpected encounter shatters her carefully constructed isolation. A stranger appears, as out of place in Lucy's routine as a splash of colour in a monochrome painting. Suddenly, the park that once felt like a sanctuary becomes a catalyst for change, forcing Lucy to confront her fears and possibly embrace a life less lonely. Will this seemingly small interaction with a striking person be the key to unlocking Lucy's guarded heart, or will she retreat further into her solitary existence?
