Скачать или смотреть THE HERMIT - a short film

A short film about how social anxieties shape our perception of ourselves and happiness. THE HERMIT reveals how easy it is to succumb to your own insecurities in trying to withstand them.

Following a young woman on her way to uni, we're let in on the inner workings of her emotions and anxieties. When observing her peers connecting with one another seemingly without effort, the perception of herself shifts. Feeling isolated in her solitude, the protagonist experiences a profound feeling of loneliness. Seeing herself as a social outcast she is unable to broaden her perception and recognise those actually around her.

Music: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64/Act 1: Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokoviev

This film was written, directed and edited by me, Hanah Biserka Ouali. I study theatre and film at Universität Hildesheim. It is my first film ever made and even though it's not perfect, I am very proud of what THE HERMIT has become. Thank you so much to all of my friends, who offered their help and took part in making this vision come to life. I am truly grateful.
