  • Why is she freaking out after she sees the tattoo on his arm? Also what is that metal object that makes him cry? Is it the same design as the tattoo?  Why is she begging all day? Is that her job?

  • Strange,but not bad in my opinion. I managed to feel more "compassion" for the man in the end,than i felt for the woman.

  • you could totally break down a wooden door like that

  • a very slow movie i want to see it but i can't as it is very very very slow

  • It should have been called:

    Curiosity killed the cat!

  • All she had to do...ALL SHE HAD TO DO....was say, "Excuse me sir, you dropped this."...THAT'S IT!

  • How exactly does she die?

    From what i can percieve from it, is that she fell backwards onto a nail or something similar.

  • She was never really being compassionate. The intention is what determines compassion not the act. Her actions proved otherwise. She was sympathetic initially but perhaps her pride is what got her killed. Still, a very well told story with good direction and acting.

  • ridiculous plot, unless the woman had some mental problem

  • interesting take on random acts of kindness. . . .

  • What a stupid bitch. This is ridiculous I'm sorry. It was slow and needlessly stupid. Personally I found it hilarious that she died.

  • ma questa se sa fa i cazzi suoi me dicono....

  • Bloody do-gooders, they should all be locked in closets!

  • It's like a forced sad ending.

  • i feel sorry for both of them but mostly for the old guy cuz he went to jail for that shit..

  • fin shit!

  • dnfbviqergvueriqvnsdqjivnqiojv­nnboKWDNVCKOWNVOJ All together Now...he's got the whole world in his hands....

  • waste of time, man 20min? way too long for this story... erm and the story... its so unreal.

  • This director has potential

    I am assuming that the message is "true compassion is fearless"....

    Fact is stranger than fiction, is this a true story ..... having said that, how would we know!!

    Thank you

    Good luck in the future

  • soooo having compassion...will leave u committing suicide in a cupboard...o.o shit i have compassion...

  • Woah.. how dramatic was she

  • No very believeble.

  • that is not good.

  • The guys life weren't particularly interesting... I don't understand why she spied on him. What was so compelling about this guys life that led her to act, then react so irrationally????

    Overall... good idea, some scenes were way to long and the cupboard scene was unrealistic - the keyhole, the light, her reaction - interesting ending and good cinematography.

  • she just caused the man alot of trouble.

  • my thoughts exactly...

    In a sense, for me this short film was more disturbing than Saw

  • Good One.............

  • women!!

  • errr... this was a supply to puttane's comment a few weeks ago...

  • curiosity is a first step to hell

  • and to heaven

  • she ... died

  • I can hear her fearfulness when she is locked in the cupboard

  • what 's up with her ability to reason, she could've just given him the shoe on the street, or just got out of the closet while he was there, he didn't seem like the kind of guy that would get that angry :/

  • Her reaction when trapped in the closet is getting on my fucking nerves. I am trying to think what I would do - ugh - it's hard to say, but she's just flipping out and it's a bit much. She had cell reception...

  • meeeh.

    the meaning in the film isn't very clear.

  • Fucked up in a fabulous way!

  • at 02:28 I though What a fucking ego prick!

    But at 04:19 aww shes trying to make herself better by being nice...

    at 06:35 I lol'd and said omg hes a thief :PPP/drugaddict / drug seller

    09:09 How does she get out of this 1...

    13:28 she sure is shit out of luck xD

    16:34 Whats with him sniffing the shoe!

    17:36 how come its in her head and id probably use the last call to call 911 whatever that is in Germany

  • germany? this film is located in belgium, as you can see in the description... the actors speak flemish, not german... ;)

    the german "911" is 110, by the way... or 112, like in every european country...

    and the guy doesn't sniff at his shoe, but he notices a smell... but he's not sure about where it comes from... shoes do smell sometimes after too much wearing, so he thinks the smell might come from the boots... got it? ;)

  • a sickening movie

    great filming

  • that happened to me when i was a kid. :/

  • This is a sinister film. On the surface a simple idea, but without much effort it's easy to discern multiple 'meanings'. It was uncomfortable viewing, but well done. I bet Peter is going to kick himself repeatedly for the rest of his life now...

  • curiosity killed the cat o_o

    I wasnt sure I wanted to see this when I noticed it was 1 minutes long.. but I am glad I did... good one

  • AMAZING FILM!!!

    AMAZING!!!

  • Good film. The idea was really creative. We often fear the people we supposedly have "compassion" for. Hers was just self righteousness.

  • It was a very good idea. I would have liked to seen more linking shots to make the product easier to watch. Alot of scenes were drug out so long when they needn't be more then a several seconds.

  • Great movie! It showed how the woman's desire to be compassionate was skewed by her preconceptions about the man. It led her to ultimately hide from the very person who could rescue her. She ends up killing herself as she lashes out in desperation and fear. After her death, the man is arrested, because it LOOKED like he had killed her.

  • @TracyII77 One could argue that fear and COMPASSION are opposites, just as love and hate are.

  • that is two of us. i dont get it

  • The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

  • That was the slowest film I have ever seen. Steadily, unnecessary 20-second shots where you can see no action, instead only hear what is going on made this extremely boring. It was okay.

  • back against the wall, kick the door down. everyone knows this :P

    how the hell do you lose it that quickly?

  • how do you post a 20 min video?

  • she were very curious...

  • definition of curiousity killed the cat

  • really interesting

  • too dark to see much really but impending doom made me turn it off.

  • Dark and the slow buildup works well. I think like a couple of others that its about her having compassion for him but ultimately being curious about the man himself, his strange persona, strange aura.

  • creepy, but i liked it...

  • i seriously don't get the point of the story..especially because of the captions "How much of her compassion was truly compassion?"

  • yeah, that part is off to me as well

  • poor girl

  • dun really get it

    and it was too long

  • that sucked...

    i mean, what happened, not the movie..

  • That was awful. Five stars.

  • interesting...

  • This was almost perfect. Long, slow drawn out scenes to frustrate us and make us long to know what happens next. The tiny amount of dialogue. The mystery of the man - why is he not phased by the money?

    The tainted morals of a woman - who we don't get to know, the less we know about her the less we know what her actions are and why she behaves that way. Seemingly trying to help but having the human trait of being nosey.

    The phrase curiosity killed the cat springs to mind. I was gripped.

  • worst acting ive ver seen! seriously!

  • too depresive ..

  • don't like it....

    too long

  • she didn't hang herself u dumb asses .. she stabbed her neck by mistake when she took that metal thing out of the door

  • No character build up? No sense of time(imo why this failed).Why did she kill herself? This vid was too long for Youtube. This was pretty crap really.

  • Why did she hang herself?

  • wow wat a bitch of a lady i think she diserved worse

  • no idea when this is from. she is using euro. but her phone is from b4 ww2.

    keine idee wan dieses video geshossen war. sie benutz euro, aber ihr handy ist von ww2 :P

  • @ romeok2: Belgium

  • she deserved what she got. seriously who follows someone home then breaks in and kills themselves?? she could have just caught up with him and handed it to him.

  • damn that was stupid of her...

  • wow, that was good. when was it made? I work in the same building as her office. I can tell from the carpet and doors that it's the Regus beside Gare Central.

  • The credits say 2006.

  • i dont get it. why was she standing there to get money?

  • Charity

  • to help disabled people

  • Yea poor guy :( Curiosity kills the cat

  • she wasn't nosey this all wld have never happend
