An Interview with Writer/Director Albert Acosta
We sat down with Writer/Director Albert Acosta to discuss his debut short film, (ha-ha), Acosta's foray into narrative cinema, and how his personal experiences have shaped his filmmaking philosophy.

Jamil and Mastora are a married couple living modestly in a village in the 1960s. Although they were not blessed with children, Jamil and Mastora are known as a romantic and upright couple among the village residents. Jamil is a dreamer and often imagines what will happen in the future. One day, Jamil discovers a mysterious loop. Without thinking twice, Jamil enters the loop and is transported through time to the modern era! Jamil is bewildered by the ultra-modern infrastructure, which causes many funny incidents. Furthermore, Jamil meets a woman who resembles Mastora in her youth, Qistina. When Jamil realizes that he is in the modern era and Mastora is not by his side, he begins to search for the mysterious loop to return to his original place. During Jamil's journey, facing various trials, he becomes popular and wealthy. At that moment, Qistina returns and offers help to manage Jamil's affairs.

One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
