Martin’s short film bravely places itself into several genres throughout the 9-minutes. We are introduced into the romance of a date, twisting gently into a comedic-psychological-drama. Conflict arises when Carlos (Carlo Sardon) pulls back from sexual interactions with Anita (Luz Rodriguez-Basavilbaso), after she confesses to being date-raped in the past. Understandably, he selflessly interrupts his sexual interest to ensure she doesn’t feel used in any way – a decision she rejects profusely. This sparks a clever debate of true female empowerment that educates and provokes a fresh outlook to the viewer.
Throughout the film the characters dip in and out of Spanish and English – a skilful way to maximise viewership from across the world. ‘Sí’ is an outstanding short film that deserves the widest audience. It’s relevancy in today’s society, aided by a stellar cast, seals its success.
