First, it is a good film for its end. Second – for its realistic story. And for simplicity, maybe unconvincing but profound fair. A film about one of the great fears of many parents. About acceptance and about answer to the block. A good short film. Not exceptional, not original but fair , real fair in its fundamental traits.
