Movie:

The Twilight Zone (1959) - Time Enough at Last Episode

 

The best-laid plans of mice and men ... and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time.
Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself.

​

- Mr. Henry Bemis, in the Twilight Zone.

As Rod Serling used to say: Fantasy is making the impossible probable, science fiction is making the improbable possible.

​

Cella in Latin can mean, depending on the context, “chamber” or “compartment,” or even “warehouse” or “storage room,” and also “sanctuary.”

​

All of these apply to the vault where Henry Bemis hides in Time Enough at Last, one of the best episodes of the 1959 series The Twilight Zone, to have a few minutes of peace, read his books, and to let his imagination fly along with them — when suddenly all his dreams materialize and, upon stepping out, peace has come and everyone else is gone.

​

The track Cella by DJ Distance is one of those songs I would take to a desert island, and no desert island can be better than Henry’s; nothing seems better than finding a devastated world with no one to bother you and having a whole lifetime of books to keep you company.

​

The brief positivity disappears abruptly when Henry drops his glasses and… it’s not fair, as he himself concludes.

​

As the world suddenly became a huge devastated condominium where no one greets each other anymore and yet everyone keeps watching each other’s lives through digital windows, I left Henry in peace and named the short film simply Cella.
