Shot in a single frame sequence, „The Cigarette After: First Time” creates the rhythm and the tension between the characters without using the „trick” called editing. This was, actually, the director’s intension, who studied „how much timing counts, as well as placing the actors towards one another and the camera. It’s a constraint that has given me the opportunity to try something new.”
The director’s vision, the funny double-meaning dialogue and the two characters well played by Alina Medoia and Eduard Teodor Bot, makes the movie one of the Romanian short films to be watched on Cinepub.
