Project Synopsis
"Argent" is a short film showcasing the rise and fall of two unnamed lovers in a damaging but undeniably mesmerizing relationship, shown from the perspective of a voyeur watching them. Their story is told through the narration of the voyeur’s poetry about the couple, and no dialogue can be heard from either of the actors on set, with a heavy emphasis on body acting.
