"By the Door" plays with the idea of amazing coincidences or twists of fate in a nice, humored manner. It revolves on two different women who end united
not only through small life accidents but also a certain someone they both know, and getting to know such truth and such reality can impact their exact
instant, for better or for worse.
On a building, a flight attendant (Thaís Loureiro) forgets her key and can't enter into her own apartment. The other woman (Priscila Esteves) is inside of an elevator, of that building, that suddenly stops after a power outage. Both women trapped into their own scenario, but they end meeting each other by the elevator's door. As the second woman finds the key inside the elevator and describes things about the building, the first end casually mentions about her boyfriend, and that's when things take a turn when the other one knows the man too. Girlfiend and mistress separated by an elevator door, and it's not moving and one person might control the whole situation. Will she help the other woman to come out or find ways to escalate the situation?
The short film offers some good thrills with such device, and throws the questioning at audiences about what we would do in such scenario, as unlikely it could be (and sometimes life acts out in such a coincidental manner). There's always time and space for some nice twists that truly leave you in suspense and curiosity through everything, and the duo is quite well, they're really convicing with their act (specially Priscila as the lover) and make the show very enjoyable. 8/10.
