Storyline

Hesitant and unsure of herself, Jennifer joins a self defense class where she learns more than she could ever imagine. When Jennifer is set to practice her self defense skills with a trainer she freezes and begins to let the memory of the rapist seep into her head and before she realizes it she has sunken back into the night that she was raped. With the trainer and rapist becoming one in the same Jennifer is confronted with the 'rapist' she was unable to fight off before. (scene from a feature film script of the same name) Written by

This is a short film from Canada that juxtaposes two films--one of a woman being attacked (and you assume eventually raped) and the same woman in a self-defense class working on her skills to fight off an attacker. You assume the assault already occurred and her taking the class is in response to her feelings of helplessness and fear.
Although on IMDb there is a tab that says "Full Movie", after watching INFINITE MOMENTS, I sure felt like I was only watching a snippet of a film. Granted, it was a very good and intense snippet, but it left me feeling like I'd only been given a small clip--not the entire film. Could it be that this IS the case? Several other times with other shorts it turned out that the Full Movie tab really only showed a small clip.
If there is more to the film than this, let me know, as I really liked what I saw.
