IFFB: This short is beautifully acted and inventively shot; the images are striking and original. The weak point is the writing and the plot. The fiancé’s confession is predictable, the protagonist’s reaction is way out of proportion (even if striking), and the supposedly cathartic ending rang false, especially after what felt like a warm and genuine reconciliation. In indie shorts, they tack on crappy unhappy endings.
