In regards to the movie: Cover employs whispers in a sparse, quiet soundtrack, and visible design that shifts from brilliant and spacious simplicity to opaque fragments. Quietness is used to introduce and emphasize moments of stress and chaos.
Two brothers entertain themselves with a recreation of cover and search. As one counts, the opposite hides in a small cupboard. Seconds go… then minutes… years… and a long time. A heartrending and prescient story about household and disconnect, in a world that’s more and more fragmented and unrecognizable.
