Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Aya is a 2012 short film (barely, at 39:58 it gets under the AMPAS "short film" cutoff by exactly two seconds) from Israel, directed by Oded Binnun and Mihal Brezis. Most of the dialogue is in English.Aya is a 29-year-old Israeli office worker. She goes to the Tel Aviv airport to pick up a friend. While she's waiting, a hired driver who's picked up his passenger asks her to temporarily hold his sign, welcoming one Mr. Overby to Israel, until the second driver makes it back to the arrivals area.Soon after Mr. Overby, a Dane coming to Israel to judge a piano competition, shows up at the arrivals area. For reasons that she herself doesn't even understand, Aya chooses to pretend to be his driver. As the two drive from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, they form a bond.

Chiaroscuro: The latter portion of the film, after the sun sets while they are still on the road, finds the two main characters in a car that is lit only by the instrument panel, and sometimes a passing traffic light. This establishes a romantic mood as they bond.

Foreshadowing: Aya tells Overby that, for whatever reason, she finds it easier to be closer to strangers than to her friends and family. The ending reveals that Aya, who picked up a total stranger at the airport, has a husband at home.

Diegetic Switch: The film opens with classical music playing on the soundtrack as the camera pans down from the ceiling to find Aya waiting at the airport. It's coming from her phone; she's on hold. When she turns the phone off, the score cuts out.
