A journey of the self.

“EGO is my debut short film,
a 6min deeply personal project”
Diogo Assis

Synopsis:
In a vast desert, a lost Cube struggles to fit in with the shapes around him. He keeps layering new forms over himself to belong, burying what he is, under what he thinks he should be, he grows heavier and slower with each disguise. The weight of fake identities accumulates until he can no longer hold himself up and collapses into a formless, unrecognizable mass.
In the silence that follows, he sees his reflection. He sees his core, what's underneath all those shapes he performed for others. He takes a single, terrifying act of courage and strips all away. Layer by layer, the false forms fall. What emerges is sharper than before. Brighter. Unmistakably him.
