Worlds Apart (16:23)

This 2017 short film was presented by Dust in 2018; re-released in 2023.

A soldier named Tommy wakes up from a coma in 1940 London, and has a conversation with an older man named Herbert, who shares his room. (Herbert has diabetes, while Tommy had been wounded on the battlefield a month earlier.) I don't want to reveal any details of their conversation, though while they're talking a raid begins outside their hospital. And there's a twist ending that I mostly saw coming. But it's a pretty well-made film, definitely worth a watch.
