A raw portrait of modern love by Barcelona-based filmmaker Marc Lesperut. Told through a series of flashbacks and set to the recording of an intimate voice message, “Just Friends” explores a relationship that might lack definition but nevertheless overflows with its own particular intensity and emotion.
Seeing this project as more of an experimental film rather than a traditional short, the fragmented nature of the narrative offered a challenged both to the actors and Lesperut himself. As he shared with us:
“My goal as a director was to explore the capability of the actors in arbitrary scenes without letting them know the extent of the full story. It has become quite a challenge putting all the pieces together in order to form a touching sequence.”
