How it feels

Three people try to connect with each other. They struggle because they cannot see one another. One character sees only their own reflection in a window, showing how we can be trapped in our own world. The film finds beauty in the persistence of reaching out.

What happens

Satellit er en dansk kortfilm fra 2013 instrueret af Maia Elisabeth Sørensen. Filmen handler om tre forskellige mennesker, der forsøger at skabe kontakt. Men de forstår ikke, hvad de andre forsøger at fortælle, fordi de ikke kan se hinanden. På et tidspunkt er der kun en rude mellem to af karaktererne, men karakteren udenfor ser kun sit eget spejlbillede. Når vi er i vores eget univers, kan vi ikke se hinanden. Men der er noget smukt ved, at vi bliver ved med at søge kontakten. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
