Nice film, reminds me about faith

[MrMsSihrus]

Professionally made. Good script. EXTREMELY predictable. A bit unexplained. I give it a B-

[Ed Eeta]

Aw dude this short film is so fucking good. It really does dig deep and touches you heart. So so good. Every short film from the festival was good but, this one I thought was the best. So much depth, so much character, so much soul. I love it.
