Alex & Nadia Forever - Russian Love Short film

Drenched in guilt and longing to his beloved Nadia, who was murdered by an unknown killer, Alex secludes himself at home while her family mourn her in their home. Mysterious mail deliveries to Nadia often arrive, easing his loneliness. Old videos of them on his phone make him miss her until it hurts. Out of the house windows he can see the woods where she was murdered and it hunts his mind. As a coping mechanism, Alex starts to slowly take on her identity. First he puts her jewelry on, then cuts his hair like her and eventually puts on her yellow dress. Slowly he starts redecorating the house, covering the walls with paintings of the smiley faces she used to love. In his despair, Alex decides to go out to the infernal woods and attempt to end up with the same fate as Nadia’s, but the unknown man who appears from the darkness passes over him. Eventually Alex decides to go share his sorrow with her family, while looking like her. At first they don’t know how to react to his bizarre appearance but the hardship and sorrow force them to allow him some room.
