A Nostalgic Trailer for Sci-fi Mystery Sweetheart is Here!

The 1950s was an era of strict gender social codes and danger. Nuclear war loomed at the push of a button, as the USA and Russia played a game of dominoes in third world countries. Now, Sweetheart will capitalize on this setting and hypothesize on what could have happened in a nuclear, or other-worldly attack.

The trailer is brilliant, even in black and white. Have a look at a preview for the short film below, which is suitable for all ages.

The synopsis for Sweetheart:

"The 1950s, and the height of Cold War tension: When her husband and stepsons don’t return from a routine trip, a young housewife finds herself alone in their remote farmhouse. As it becomes clear that they are not coming back, she must force herself out of an aimless cycle, setting off to find them.

What she finds instead is a seemingly derelict world, empty of all but a few dazed 'survivors.' Unsure who, if anyone, to trust, she must navigate a series of strange encounters to find answers..." (Sweetheart).
