Synopsis

Jeff, an insomniac, discovers a mystical jellyfish creature one night in the alley by his house. Jeff, who’s haunted by the loss of his wife, reluctantly helps the strange being as it tries to escape the two hostile police on its trail.
With themes of loss, memory and duty, the monochromatic film mixes experimental elements with nods to silent film, film noir and 1950s b-movies. Its dreamy feel is heightened by the frequent appearance of musicians who provide a live musical commentary to the action.

Director: Jeevan Singh

What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
