The plot of Sekunder is brutally efficient. A woman (Lotta Losten) is home alone, likely waiting for her partner (Sandberg). She hears a knock at the door. She checks the peephole — no one is there. She opens the door slightly, calls out, and sees nothing. Then, from behind the door, a pale, smiling, inhuman face leans into frame. The woman screams and slams the door shut. She backs away, trembling, only for the exact same sequence of sounds — knock, peephole, opening door — to begin again. The final shot reveals that she is now trapped in a time loop, forever reliving the same ten seconds of terror. Short Film Review: "Sekunder" (2009) Thesis : By
