Loved this. Nice job. I'm not sure how I didn't know a film was made based on the infamous 2010 comment. I imagine a lot of others don't know either. I'll do what I can to fix that. Cheers!

you guys almost ran over a deer at 5:25 , the helper would have needed help himself if he ran that over lol

Everyone has a problem to solve. It takes greater heart and love to help a person to walkaway from it. These Mexicans outshined on the day when all has refused to stop and help. what a reward for the boy and the girl to see their parent spending money for a GOOD purpose. It clearly shows the money is needed.

The value of parent is transmitted to the girl. she gave tamale to the guy with smile. The joy of giving I like this short movie and is well made. I wish much success to the director

Good job !!

It reminds me of "Good Samaritan" from the Bible, and I like our good neighbor's comment -"You today, me tomorrow".

I like the message of the movie - an act of altruism is inspiring and opens people's hearts to be kind as well.
