-> ''"Sometimes, it only takes a few days for your life to change. For me, it took seven..."''

''7 Days'' is a 2021 Irish ShortFilm written and directed by Greg Young.

School friends Callum (Greg Young) and Ray (Jake Hyland) have some kind of DarkSecret that involves their friend Rosie (Dana Lee Al Qattan). They have to fool the police, dispose of a sword, and Rosie has to remain hidden.

The film was part of the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL-tQTOnYk4 Deadly Numbers]]'' anthology, along with ''Film/DisembodiedHitman'', before getting released as a standalone.

Not to be confused with the [[Series/SevenDays1998 TV series about time travel]], the [[Manga/SevenDays2007 2007 Yaoi manga]] or the [[VideoGame/SevenDays2013 2013 horror video game]]. Or the film ''{{Film/Seven}}'' for that matter.

!!Tropes:

* ArcWords: "We did the right thing..."
* BackToFront: [[spoiler: It turns out that the seven days are being told in reverse order]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Rosie is dead and Ray is unaccounted for. Callum will likely face all sorts of horrible consequences for lying, but he's at least going to clear his conscience by owning up]].

* BookEnds: The film starts and ends with Callum's "it only takes a few days for your life to change forever..."
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Drink and do drugs in the forest, and you'll [[spoiler: accidentally kill your friend]].

* ConvictionByContradiction: What Ray fears; when he mistakenly tells the police their alibi was Tuesday, instead of the planned Wednesday, he's sure they'll be found out.
* CuteBruiser: Rosie gets a scene where she playfully whacks Ray with a sword, and it's portrayed as very endearing.
--> "You're lucky that's all I gave ya."
