- A veterinarian hides her depression.
KEEP IT QUIET is used with permission from Yaya. Learn more at vimeo.com/yaya....
Corey is a veterinarian who lives with her grown daughter and works in an animal clinic. She also is suffering from severe depression, which she struggles to keep hidden from her family and friends.
She navigates many small but cutting indignities and challenges as she looks after everyone but herself. But soon she reaches her breaking point and contemplates the worst.
Written and directed by Yaya, this powerful, thoughtful short drama tackles the weighty topics of depression and suicidality as its main character struggles to conceal her mental health struggles from the world around her. Many narratives tackle these issues, but this short offers a unique angle, grounding its story in Corey's quotidian reality and dramatizing the efforts to hide it.
Corey is a very relatable, everyday character, and the storytelling carefully builds a series of tableaux that illustrates her life. These scenes -- often shot in wide frames, composed in slightly abstract, removed framings and often favoring overhead shots -- function as a group of snapshots that offer different angles on Corey's character and circumstances.
She's a put-down daughter with a casually cruel father in one; a warm and competent veterinarian in another. Corey is often pictured off-center or tucked away in the back of the scene as if she's in danger of being marginalized in her own life. It is a richly variegated portrait, but it also captures the essential numbness at the core of her existence.
The approach could be potentially distant and overly cerebral, but actor Rusty Schwimmer grounds viewers with a phenomenal performance that feels lived-in, genuine and precise. As Corey's suffering magnifies and she has a harder time hiding it, she starts to spiral, reaching a point of desperation. Suicide, for her, isn't a wish for death, but a longing to stop the suffering that has become overwhelming.
Many performances of depression portray it as sadness or listlessness, but Schwimmer's portrayal -- and the gift of KEEP IT QUIET -- gets at a fundamental truth of depression. More than just sadness or "feeling down," it's profound loneliness, isolation and hopelessness. It also portrays how easy it is for people to hide it, and how many people around someone with depression simply don't pay attention enough to notice it. Yet ultimately this concealment only leads to more isolation, compounding the psychological weight until it gets unbearable. Corey reaches that point, but the film's unique ending foils her attempt, offering a much-needed catharsis for both Corey and the audience. Facing the depth of feeling within, there's finally space for some fragile hope -- and gratitude for the strange interventions of fate.
The dad is such a jerk. Truth is, being a vet is harder than being a doctor. You don’t just have to learn the anatomy for one living being, you have to learn it for many.
And you have to be so in tune to look for symptoms and expressions of pain or other indicators which can be quite different from animal to animal even in the same species. While a doctor can ask, "where and how badly does it hurt?"
Not only that, but vets seem to care more about the welfare of their "patients", as opposed to our human Drs today. Sad, but true.
The husband deserves the depression not her, in these cases you need the help of your beloved ones, and to LOVE yourself aswell😢😢😢❤️
@@martamarin8688 It's her father not her husband.
@lover💖🐾 See paragraph 5 of the description. Also at 2.28 Corey's daughter says she won't be able to pick up Corey's father's prescription.
Rusty Schwimmer is a phenomenal actress. I have a deep feeling she has dealt with serious depression herself, to play that part as well as she did.
I first saw her in that TV series Heroes. She had super-hearing in that one episode.
Yes, my gut feeling tells she was not acting. Especially the scene on the bridge, her slack face.... It's real.
This was so authentic, how many people keep there suffering to themselves, and never get help. Mental Health is a disease!!!!
Yes. Sadly some countries don’t take it seriously as one. 😢
Omg. Rusty Schwimmer. ANOTHER unsung hero of the acting world. She is so fabulous. She is so amazing. She never gets the screen time in ANYTHING I've ever seen her in and it's criminal. The first time I saw her in a movie was when I was a kid and I watched A Little Princess. I urge everyone to see it if you haven't. And her character, as criminally per usual, was a supporting role but she was magnetic in her portrayal as the sweet, wannabe harsh and cruel but wasn't, sister of the evil sinister headmistress of the girls' school where the movie takes place. I urge everyone to see it.
You're right.
YES! Love her. She's an incredible actress. I LOVED the Little Princess. It was one of my favorite movies growing up---I'd watch it over and over and over again. Hope to see her in SO much more. She's incredible🥰
This is so sad, yet it feels so real to me, because I've dealt with my depression for over 10 years. Thanks for this video.
Don't call it "your" depression.
What are these replies.. lol
@@brandon080693 literally
@@eiseneuter2034 stingy I want some of that depression too 😩
@@eiseneuter2034 how insensitive can you be??? first of all that is totally normal just like someone says my cancer has spread even through tons of people have it. secondly even if it was wrong if this is the only thing you have to say to this person you should really rethink the way you behave
Here in Germany veterinarians and even veterinary students are statistically the most common people to commit suicide. They see much suffering and have experience in bringing it to an end. Usually they take some chemicals.
Same here in Canada
Same with physicians.
@@doctorstrange367 that's so sad
How incredibly sad 😢
@Kati Pohl that's strange for some reason I heard it was dentists?!?
I was reliefed when I saw her daughter immediately hugged her mom
Depression is not the thing you want to mask,it is one of the most dangerous mental illnesses known and should be treated
Poor thing, always giving of herself and there doesn't seem to be any private time to take a breather nor does it appear there is any appreciation for her. It's like she's perfunctory in her roles in life while simultaneously her spirit is stripped of joy.
👍👍😢
I was in a deep dark depression for a few years. Like a miracle, I came out of it on Christmas of this year and have not felt depressed once. You never know when it will come or when it will leave.
@Thomas Barnard Thank you Thomas. I hope you are well;) Have a wonderful day!
That's awesome! I used to suffer depression for 30 years. I thought I would never come out of it, but I did one night in September 2010. I've been doing great since. Hope you continue to do the same.
I hope everything is great with you )) People who got out of it, can you please share how? Thank you in advance 🧡
@@optimistictraveller Depression leaves when it wants too. We don't have control over when it comes or when it decides to lift. How long have you been depressed?
@@Godisfirst21 Thank you for replying my message🧡 To be honest, I’m not even sure when it started. I keep doubting whether I have it or not due to my mood swings (my state gets too good or the opposite, too bad). But this past year it seems like my mental well being has worsened..
7:55 "You're just a dog Doctor..." That comment triggered it...
Yes. "Dr Woof Woof" and laughing at her with his friend.
What a father! 🤬
Depression is a horrible thing !i have been to that edge of the cliff many times. I’m so glad I got therapy
This is a MASTERWORK. Amazing actress...She portrayed her issue in such a way that made me want to hug her and tell her how beautiful she was from her first scene. Amazing choice of frames, so poetic and minimalistic...This should be shown at any psychiatrist school...TAHNKS from Spain!!! This has touched me really deep.
That poor woman. Great performance, powerful film.
Heartbreaking, and so realistic. Huge props to the cast, esp Corey (Rusty). You did a terrific job here! and a great service to those whose life actually feels like this. Thank you so much for taking on this difficult role and task!
I have had breakdowns. The trigger is never obvious. I understand and feel for ALL people with mental health issues. Thank you for making this film.x
Omg 😳 Who on earth criticises a vet as just a dog Dr? Being a vet is even harder than being a human Dr as animals can’t tell you what’s wrong.
It must be a tough job being a vet when you are faced with dilemmas.
Ok, this was heartbreaking.
Not one more vet!!!
They are so awesome and still have the highest rate of suicide of all....
Thank you for flooding it up!!!!!!
Coincidence that this came on just days after Cheslie Kryst committed suicide. From the outside, she seemed to have it all, but that's not an indicator on someone's happiness or mental state. People experiencing depression suffer in silence.
Depression is a terrible thing. I've had depression for several years, and I've had people tell me to get over it, I'm healthy and alive. It took me Getting to my lowest point before I did something about it.
How did you finally manage and seek help? I'm glad you feel well now.
So sad, there’s a shortage of vets right now…gives us an idea how difficult it must be to have a job where you have to intentionally put your patients to death while their families weep possibly all day long, can’t imagine doing that 😕
I find myself coming back to this video every few weeks since I first watched it this past summer. I remember when I first watched it, I was just so stunned and literally cried throughout, then broke down at the end. I couldn’t believe what I just watched. I’d never seen a film before that just captures the feeling of isolation that so often happens when you’re depressed. It’s all just too accurate. No one seems to know but yourself. Unfortunately, I relate so much to the main character.
The more suicidal thoughts you have, the more likely you will act upon them. Get help and never be afraid to ask for it. 🙏
Sad to say, the kitty saved Her life....
Not exactly a beam of sunshine and hope today... despair. Nightmarish. Haunting. I feel like this one might linger for a while.
Most "burn out " of health care providers is due to melancholia.
I'm in depression from past 3 years, I tried to explain it to my mom. The worse part is she never asks me what's wrong with me when I break into tears or show intense anger. I've tried telling her am not happy, my mental condition is not good. But she takes all that as a joke and never pays attention. That thing makes depression even worse, because we want to be heard.
I've felt all the feelings the women in the film felt, even I cried. Because it actually feels like that, glad she atleast has to daughter that loves her
I sincerely hope it gets better soon :).
@@JJWAD thank you so much love
No problem! I'm proud of you for making it so far, and there will be a time when it passes :).
That is how moms are. Mine got me drugged out of my brains.
This is beyond depression, sad this actually do take place in life
well that was one of the most depressing this I've ever seen
Can feel this so strongly. Depression is so very hard to deal with. And so very hard to hide and try to b normal.
I'm sorry, as a cat lover, this was way depressing!
Yeah definitely 🙁
Such an important subject. Thank you for showing it in a way as us "regular" folks without fancy degrees can understand it. I hear alot about the "sandwich" generation but never thought about those pressures plus certain careers. A perfect recipe for depression.
Universe works in a strange way.. This kind of story happens IRL.
= Bravo….I felt every single second of this one…every single one…boy was that real. Every one should have an outlet…life can be cruel.
How terribly sad.
So many people are living lives of quiet desperation.
I understand....
Sweet kitty of hers saved her life and sacrificed for her,,,so tragic and beautiful...
Omg I love her she’s a great actress. Loved her performance in the movie 🎥 “ A Perfect Storm” 👏🏾♥️✨
Today was supposed to be a great day for me. I had high expectations for my own emotions. A turn of events this past week made this day my worst one in 2 years.
I'm sorry :( I hope things get better for you!
You can always recover. Stay forward focused.
Rusty Schwimmer is an amazing actress...
Bpy did she need thst hug. Hugging should never be underestimated
brilliant acting
This made me cry so much I just re thought the whole sinario with my cat can't imagine wt id do without her I had the worse friend break and for the past 2 yrs she's the only soul I could hold while I'm crying even if it was a meow the only thing that asked if I was fine now she's very old I can't imagine wt to do if J don't have her
May God Bless All Those With Mental Illness
I don't understand the ending. Was the fact she accidentally killed the cat the final straw for her and now she wanted to tell her daughter of her depression? Why was she chasing after the cat with a loaded gun?
I beleive she had the gun and was going to kill herself but saw the cat running and wanted to protect it and put it back inside and just ran with the gun because she had it in her hand.
The cat's death is not the final straw. The vet was already over her edge and in serious danger; and now, after the cat died, I would be worried. Inspite of her horrible depression, she wouldn't shoot her cat. Never the cat. She wanted to destroy herself. She meant business. She loaded that gun to get rid of herself. The cat was sensitive to look after the vet, but got scared of the gun and ran. When cats get scared, they go crazy, and she didn't want to scare the cat. It was an accident, because she fell with a loaded gun. She herself, didn't think straight. She could have shoot anyone or anything. I hoped it was a street light, but then... her worst nightmare. In the story she didn't tell anyone about her depression. It is sad; at funerals family and friends cry, because they didn't know. Really?! For some families it is something to be ashamed of. Some patients can loose their jobs. And so it goes. The person with depression is not the problem, but family and the community with their own ignorance and judgmental ideas.
I didn't understand the ending either, if she shot Clyde by accident or if coyotes ate him. Didn't understand why she took him with her.
@@bernadette573 She shot the cat by accident and lied to her daughter telling her that coyotes ate him. She took the cat with her to work because some vets do that. I have taken my cat to some vet clinics where the vet had their own cat in the clinic, it can be helpful for some animal patients to see there is another animal in the room with them
Hiding it is the worst thing you can do, it feels normal even "ok" at points. It's not though, it ruins you and eats away at you.
Tf why psychiatrist/psycholog is so expensive to get
Yaya Simakov, the director of this, was actually my film professor a few years ago. I remember him showing us a snippet of the kitchen scene in class. Very fun and insightful guy. It’s so cool to see his work featured on Omeleto
Since parental abandonment is on the rise, can even imagine where this leaves grandparents .!
Wow thank you to the actress for really showing what depression looks and feels like.
That poor lady.
I mean i like how you tried to portray the cats death as a catharsis for hope but the reality of depression she will be back into the same ditch next month and more self destructive behavior will surely ensue
The main character is a fantastic actress. I hope for her sake that she was just acting and not really depressed. Great job!
Poor cat.
I’ve been down this dark road many times 😔
Bro i feel for this woman
I felt this
If you don't experience depression, as much as you wish you could really understand those of us who suffer, you just can't imagine it. It is an absolutely horrid affliction.
So it took her cat to die for her daughter to show her affection or for her to actually cry and release? I am trying to understand the ending
The shot of the pancake in the pan was somehow the most poignant symbol of depression. Maybe because it ultimately had no purpose.
Heartwrenchingly brilliant. Like so many a nightmare I have actually had.
My god, the mind has no mercy 😢😢
Don't turn to suicide even though I have no clue what ur going through..hmu
Too damn early to be crying already.
Omeleto pisses me off because they ALWAYS cut it off wayyyy too soon leaving you without closure!!!
Heart wrenching but wonderful done.
Depression is a life sucking thing. It robbed me of years that should have been happy with my first son. I was always very much against medication for depression but i got desperate enough to try. 4 years later and its been a life saver (literally). Ive always been a pull yourself up by your boot straps kinda guy but no matter how hard i tried i couldnt get away from it. I still think that in many cases meds are over prescribed but sometimes people do need a helping hand. Just my thought. Cheers!
Rusty Schwimmer is outstanding in this film
That cat was the only thing keeping her alive, so the fact that she killed the cat, pretty much guarantees she will not be around much longer. This was a very sad story.
Excellent! Wow!
What is she planning to do with cats? Why did she chase after it?
Let's give it up to the dog for his great acting
Poor cat she didn't deserve the owner
Poor lady
😿 thank you
I apologize I'm almost deaf and no captions. what was said at the end?
As her daughter starts getting concerned where the cat went, she break into tears and stutters out "Coyotes ate my.." "Co-Coyo ate.." and that's about where her daughter hugs her.
Not my favourite cup of tea, sorry to say, though the lead actress was incredible! 🤗
Good acting, but the story sure didn’t help my depression at all. And I have a cat I love.
Great acting.
Can someone tell me what happened in the dark after she chased the cat? (Was it a cat?) It was too dark for me see.
WHERE IS THE **EFFING CLOSE CAPTIONING???!!!!!!!
Ngl i cant deal with animals dying especially if you're the one doing it to them as a human by putting chemicals into their system... It hurts, feel nothing if its humans but so much when it animals unless those humans are decent people then its hurts just as much as it hurts when its animals, its not fair but i understand putting them down when they very sick and or struggle but then dont do that to them and not your own species.
Poor Coyote
The only thing I don’t get was the ending. What coyotes? I didn’t see any at all.
She lied, because she didn't want to say she accidentally shot the cat
February 5, 2022
What did she say at the end?
Im sorry, once the pet has died I have to leave the film.
May have been good. To f...ng dark to tell
Did they kill that dog? And cat for real
Por supuesto q no... Q clase de pregunta es esa,?? El tema es el sufrimiento de ella o cualquiera con depresión, 😳😳
idk, maybe they filmed it at a veterinarians hospital and those were the procedures that day. It really was dismal, dragging the bag with a dead dog in it. This film was way too dark for me.
@@bernadette573 same but I think they killed the cat fr
@@ReaganAlexis The love and respect for the life for animals is one the main themes in the film. So I don't think anybody who participated in this film would agree to kill an animal for real in its making
You can't take tour life of you have a cat.
If you suffer from depression you cannot summon the energy to be a veterinarian.
Wat is wrong with these kids
But why did she kill the cat?
Did she try to direct all her sadness and anger towards the cat by killing her?
But she never had the right to do that. Suffering from depression doesn't mean that it gives you the licence to kill animals.
She tripped while she was holding the gun to use on herself and it went off on the cat
😪😪😪❤
But... she didn't take her own life. I'm confused
yeah she chased the cat for whatever reason with a loaded shotgun, tripped and killed the cat.
@@karwane1 she was chasing her cat to get it back inside
She was going to. But the fact that she accidentally killed her cat,
shocked her to the point of forgetting to fulfill her personal task.
In some way the Cat saves her Life, a new chance for her...she could have been dead instead 😢😢😢
@@martamarin8688That's what I thought about the cat.
The only family member who actually did something for her.
The ending was way too predictable.
And what is the point of the movie? That there is quiet misery and depression in the world, and often the innocent bystanders become the victims of it?!
Life is predictable and that. Is the comedy
@@johndwolynetz6495 Nothing has been predictable in my life, but only by design. A life fundamentally governed by entropy, evolution, the X factors, mutations, changing social norms, and the uncertainty principle is inherently chaotic and unpredictable. Working predictabilities into the fabric of existence is like forcing the hand of futility. Gravity doesn’t act in space.
Also keep in mind: Movies are not bound by the forces and the niceties of the human predicament and that’s part of their magic. When you pump predictability into them they lose their element of surprise and their entertainment factor.
The point is that art can be derived from simple concepts
@@estoniass Yes, but simple concepts don’t have to be predictable.
The cat actually truly loved her back by saving her life_ how was that predictable?
NOTHING
HELLO THERE!
