Two metres too far

This elegant and dainty film from Spanish director Victor Claramunt starts off as sweetly as an afternoon spent sipping pink gin on a gondola with Audrey Hepburn. 

It ends, however, with a climax of subtly saucy visual puns as it examines the joyous comings together we can hope for when Covid-19 has cleared off.

Titled The End of the Social Distancing, the optimistic little confection shows how well Claramunt has been using quarantine time – asked about the distances he usually has between models, and considering the two metres apart rule, he ended up collating and editing footage from previous shoots for top brands including Armani, North Sails, El Corte Inglés, Longchamp and, appropriately, Durex. 

The whole is then set off charmingly by the jaunty strains of Rossini’s overture La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie), which screen junkies will recognise as being used to counterpoint dark scenes from A Clockwork Orange and Hannibal.
