Ending becomes cheap comedy. I want 7 min of my life back!

@donninolauri True, nothing here makes sense. Tropfest finalist? Now I know what's happening when they judge entries. And why can't the dad just get a job? If no job, why not ask help from the govt? Why isn't the child in social welfare? How could he afford a new fake wool for the dog, if they're very poor? This film is an insult to other filmmakers.

@helgzkleinf he got the wool for the dog from the lamb he slaughtered u drongo

[BowTiesRCool2]

gosh people stop taking the ending so literally, appreciate what these people made and how they harnessed the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' idea

So the kid dosnt relize the lamb grew? or it dosnt ba? and it barks? And so where'd the dog go?

[deleet12]

can't believe the hate this is getting. it's a short film, not a documentary. it's meant to tell a story with an underlying idea, and it does.

What happens when the 'lamb' barks?

[Paperbagman555]

It's beautifully shot!!! Get over it guys, very few short films make sense. Look at bubble boy - does a man wrapped in bubble rap who never leaves the house make sense? How does he have a house with no job? Short films shouldn't be analysed lol

@helgzkleinf he didnt buy the fake wool for the dog, he used the wool of the lamb that he killed.

DoP - two thumbs up - beautifully shot

[TransparentLabyrinth]

@helgzkleinf 1) Drought stricken land implies there are no jobs and this is no government to rely on. 2) The wool is from the lamb he killed. Seriously, if you're going to insult something, at least get your facts straight.

This Video depicts true beauty I dont care that no one else here see's it for what it truly is but in my mind it was wonderful, if you think that this is a bad film that just shows that you are a very shallow person without an open mind. I would like to thank the person who made this film as it is amazing.
