This is a slight horror short, shot by Italian filmmaker Davide Melini (in English) that opens with a woman receiving a phone call from her son demanding money (or so the synopsis says - it's not made clear in the film). She then decides to relax with a jigsaw puzzle, but then the power goes out...

More an exercise in atmosphere than a coherent story, the film works well for what it is. Some effective Argento-inspired lighting, an odd twist that makes no real sense and definitely not overstaying its welcome (the whole story is told in four minutes), this is a solid enough showreel piece.
