Pulse and Vertebrae (2025)

Runtime 1 min

A young man tries to contact his girlfriend through her apartment window but unexpectedly sees her with another man.

Pulse and Vertebrae (original title: Puls og ryggrad) is my first short film from NSKI College. At just a minute long, the film feels suspended in midair, with its soul captured in the character’s facial expressions. The film explores the act of betrayal and examines how people react at their lowest—whether they falter or find the strength to move on.
