Purely Joyful Movie!

Boring

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Coming from watching it at the Worldwide Short Film Fest in Toronto. Beautifully shot, this is a melancholic short film that manages to engage and leave a mark difficult to forget.The two main roles are played with sparse dialogs and a touch of quirkiness that however, remains true to the spirit of the characters. But this movie is as much about a dad/daughter story as it is about hopes, intimacy, and impotence. And what really sets the tone of the story is the stage: a scenery that alternates the dreams of childhood and the omnipresent threat of those dreams brutally sand-buried by reality. A threat that, as the synopsis suggests and the movie gradually reveals, is more real where it is more hidden.Great casting, great camera, touching short story.
