Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In a single, uninterrupted take, BOY and GIRL meet for the first time, connecting, exploring and eventually facing an inconvenient truth. Set against the backdrop of a hilariously self-important art gallery amidst an eclectic crowd of 'art-enthusiasts', BOY and GIRL embrace the chance to play like children in a room full of adults. With the help of Key & Peele cinematographer Charles Pappert, Brief. achieves a sweeping and timeless effect, coaxing you inside and out of this chance encounter in real time.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
