One night in a bar can seem like a lifetime....
Blink explores what it is like to be a twenty something over one night in a bar. Each of them is looking for something--sex for sure, and if they are lucky, love. We will all identify with one of them before the night is over...
... the "nice" girl looking for the perfect guy to settle down with ... the loser...lost in his own dead end world, looking to pass away another night numbed by alcohol ... the "bad" girl trying to forget who she really is ... the prowler...trying to score with as many women as possible before it's too late ... or the bartender-would-be artist asking herself if she will forever be stuck serving drinks just to pay the bills.... ... and several others...just passing through...
Each of the lives examined is flawed, stalled in this microcosm of time... ...but before the night ends, each will come to reexamine that life and come to terms with it...
..."it's as if you blinked and your whole life changed"...
The visual style is focused with almost excruciatingly painful closeups of the eyes and faces of the bar patrons as we follow them throughout the night.
The soundtrack of indie music complements well the feeling of being trapped in this bar... in this night...in your own life... and comes to a frenzied peak as the last call is about to sound,
and yet another night of your life is about to end...
