  • A young woman bothers a stranger to take her picture, then has more odd requests.
    WHAT IN THE WORLD is used with permission from Jamie Fraser. Learn more at / whatintheworldshortfilm .
    A distraught man is driving on a remote country road, music blaring and boxes of stuff rattling in his backseat. But despite his emotion, he stops when he spots a young woman next to a car flagging him down.
    But she's not stranded. Instead, she has an odd request: she needs someone to take her picture. Turns out, this is the first of many odd, strange requests and stories she will tell him -- as an equally outlandish story unfolds, unbeknownst to him.
    Written and directed by Jamie Fraser, this dark comedic short is as oddly captivating as the seemingly guileless, quirky young woman at the center of the story. Like the film, she spins an almost freakish story, told with such matter-of-factness that we can't help but be swept along upon what turns out to be an even odder tale.
    The strength of the film is its unpredictability, starting with the visuals and editing, which have both a pastoral, understated naturalism that suits the setting, and camerawork that is almost stately in its movement. Yet there's something just slightly off-kilter in the bright classical score and the editing's rhythms, which also suits how the young woman tells her story.
    As she veers from one request to the next, she weaves a type of narrative Jenga, balancing one strange block on the next. There are an accident, dead parents, and a nunnery involved, and actor Charly Clive weaves it all together with a mesmerizing balance of vulnerability, charm and command. She delivers the nimble dialogue with terrific timing, but the rhythm is rooted not in the demands of hitting a punchline, but of character and circumstance.
    Unraveling those circumstances takes WHAT IN THE WORLD into unexpected directions. To elaborate more would be to give some of the pleasure away, but the truth is even weirder and more eccentric than the young woman's story. It unspools with ironic cheekiness, but it also unearths the distressed man's own story, which exists at a more tragic and sincere register. The juxtaposition of these two stories colliding one random afternoon in the countryside creates its strange poignancy, both for the audience and perhaps even for the young woman, who offers up a sincere moment of comfort. It's said that we are all starring in our own movies, and certainly, the man and young woman are amid their own very different journeys. But when our separate narratives intersect, even for just an incident, it makes for those riveting, singular moments that make life random, peculiar and oddly resonant.

    He likely won't know that they syphoned gas from his car, and was actually grateful in the end, because he was able to speak to someone he believed understood him. So, while they thought they were gonna screw him over, he actually got something good out of it, while SHE got the consequence of guilt for her actions. Great way to turn the tables.

      Hold on, conniving boyfriend? She wanted to do this, her character is manipulative and cruel. The boyfriend originally wanted to ask for help. She wanted to take advantage of someone for fun. Of course the boyfriend is also horrible and just as guilty because he went along with it.

      It feels like the story was inspired by Doctor Quinn with the woman driving the red car as Michaela, the green car driver as Ethan and the boyfriend as Sully. His wife is really dead but what he forgot to say is that he abandoned her a long time ago. It would make sense with the Colorado car and the dress of the woman. I also think that he just try to torture her especially after looking at his license plate. He obviously saw the man but pretended he didn’t. The brand Toyota leads me to Denver.

      It wouldn't have been a red flag at all. On those narrow country roads people tend to pull off to either side. That's what we did on narrow country roads if we had to stop. It's not like they are busy highways where you will need to take a chance and time it to get back out into your lane by crossing traffic. He lived in a village and this would have been his mentality also. Lanes like that don't have the same rules or protocol as streets or highways.

      Also, there's nothing odd about parking on the right hand side of the road - it's a single lane country road, so you park wherever is safe, and doesn't block the flow of traffic.

      Agreed! Don't be too nice to strangers. Cause there's a big chance that they're criminals. Siphoning your gas is one thing, but organ trafficker is an entirely different story. Waking up in the middle of nowhere with no kidney is no laughing matter.

      @@__-pl3jg Being foolishly trusting comes with a cost, I agree (sometimes a very high cost). Being foolishly untrusting does, too, but people give too much weight to the obvious cost over the other more subtle one. Incorrectly evaluating threats is always costly, in both directions, and living with heightened fear ruins one's risk assessments. Notice that the message I responded to said there was a "big chance" that strangers were criminals, and evoked the fairy tale of organ theft. That's not a healthy worldview, and not a realistic one either.
      Fortunately, for most of us your past experiences are likely not representative - and certainly not for the environment seen in this film (no weapons, no violence apparently considered by either side, and the victim lost a trivial amount of gasoline, and gained a hug and a story). I don't doubt you've seen things - but I don't consider it more "real" than what I've seen (which does include being the victim of crime, more than once, and uncountable pleasurable interactions with strangers). We live different lives, in different environments, and it sounds like i wouldn't want to trade. Maybe your degree of caution is appropriate for you... it would be overkill, here. A blanket "don't ever stop to help" is not good advice except in broken places.
