Milk (Γάλα)

"Milk" (Γάλα) is a short-film made by Alexandros Sipsidis and Konstantinos Fragoulis, two students from Greece. The subhead describes the plot as: " A man is looking for something White in a Black world."

and this statement is valid for all dimensions of the movie. Seeking for an object of interest is not very creative, as it is the movies' plot in estimating 90%, but the movie still convinces with its unique style. 

While James Bond is hunting down his "object of interest" guided by expensive special effects, stunts, spectacular camera shots and his - of cause- thrilling dialogues, the main-character of "Milk" does not speak. Actually there are no dialogues, no special effects, no stunts - only a man looking for milk. The story becomes interesting as we are pushed into the micro-cosmos of the film. The world is fictional, black and white, has only a few characters and its only goal is to find milk. Especially this simplicity of the story provides the opportunity to fill this micro-cosmos with stresses details and dimensions such as the sound. The audio extends the reality of the film and so does the camera techniques. Shadows, symbols, well chosen framing of the scene tell a story and enrich the micro-cosmos to become a world itself.

We recommend to dive into this world and find out whether the man finds the White in his black world and if it is 'just' the milk.
