I met the four actors who were to be at the centre of this film in July 2020. Slowly an idea began to take shape that embodied all our fears. Four university students, played by four university students, would share their dreams, in the style of the Decameron. Each dream would be a vision of a future, of lives spent, in empty cinemas, call centres, endless video calls, at the edges of functions, re-encountering old faces that no longer knew us, always feeling like they hadn’t made it. Except for the fourth student, central to all their dreams, whose departure from the comfort zone of the group was imminent.
