The Girl in the Library


Amongst the bookshelves of Manchester's Central Reference Library, a troubled young man is trying to work, but his thoughts are not on his studies. Is this a typical case of youthful infatuation, or something far more puzzling? This enigmatic short film, shot in one of the city's most iconic buildings, leaves it to the viewer to decide.
