Sexy, heartfelt, and deeply romantic, 14 Days, a 25-minute short film from Filipino writer-director Narciso Nadal Santos Jr., follows two lonely young men who start falling for one another under intimate, but incredibly unusual circumstances.
Having previously attended nursing school, police trainee Elijah (Arvin Balageo) is assigned to the Philippines’ COVID-19 task force during the earliest days of the pandemic. With little yet known about the virus, an abundance of caution is taken.
He’s tasked with observing Arvin (Io Balanon), a law student and part-time tour guide who was exposed to the virus, during his two-week quarantine.
Spending time together from opposite sides of a window, the two men form a companionship during their shared isolation. Even though physical contact is strictly forbidden, the temptation to get closer to one another grows as the days go by.
Under the ominous shadow of doubt, sickness, and even the threat of death, a love story blossoms that cannot be ignored.
