Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates how already known literary characters function in a Macedonian neo-noir short film on the example of The Script by Aleksandra Kardalevska. By primarily explaining the meaning and significance of noir and neo-noir films, as well as mapping the field of short Macedonian films, this paper focuses on the meaning and the impact of the latest short film of Aleksandra Kardalevska - The Script. In this analysis we first look at the meaning of the literary characters involved in the film, in order to offer the reader their meaning as well as their contribution of positive values to the narrative. Then we proceed to accumulative analysis of all characters through the prism of Jean Paul Sartre, in order to interpret the meaning of these values in today’s world, facing an ongoing sanitary, social and cultural crisis.
