"UMBRA" is an experimental short film that uses the phenomenon of a solar eclipse viewed from various locations around the world as a metaphor to delve into the perennial battle between light and darkness, both literally and metaphorically.
As the eclipse progresses, the narrative explores the lives of diverse characters, each grappling with the concepts of divinity and sin. The film challenges viewers to question what it means to be 'divine' in a world overwhelmed by darkness and moral dilemmas. It scrutinizes the stark dichotomies often presented by religious and cultural institutions—good versus evil, right versus wrong.
