7:35 de la Mañana (English title: 7:35 in the Morning) is an Academy Award-nominated short film directed and written by Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo. It was released in 2003.
The film is an eight minute long black and white short that depicts a Spanish woman encountering a strange singing man in a coffee shop one morning. The strange man turns out to be a suicide bomber, who professes his love through the words of the song to a woman who turns up everyday at 7:35 in the morning (Spanish - de la manana). The others in the cafe have pre-recorded lines to say at points during the song (otherwise they risk the threat of being blown up) and even a short dance routine.
At the start of the film, the woman realises that something is not right when sitting down; for one everyone is quiet and refusing to acknowledge her presence. When the man reveals himself to be a suicide bomber -one of the people in the cafe refuses to sing - she calls the police (whilst he isn't watching). Roughly 3 minutes later, the police arrive outside the house. The man finishes his song, and emerges from the cafe to the Police, holding a big sack of confetti. The man blows himself up, and the confetti showers over the woman. The credits roll.
