Short Vacation

About This Movie

Short Vacation is a quiet exploration of youth and imagination, set against the backdrop of a seemingly mundane summer. The four middle schoolers, armed with an analog camera, embark on a quest that’s as much about the journey as the destination. The film captures their earnest discussions about the end of the world in a way that’s poignant yet light. The performances feel genuine, especially in how they navigate friendship and the weight of their ideas. There’s something nostalgic about the analog camera—its presence adds a layer of authenticity and invites the viewer to reflect on the magic of capturing moments. The pacing is leisurely, allowing for moments of introspection, making it feel like a slice-of-life piece rather than a typical narrative. Overall, it’s a charming take on the innocence of youth and creativity.
