  • Really great short drama. Strong performances!!

  • If I was that postman I'd have had the cuppa. A cup of coffee with Lynsey Baxter, how could anyone pass that up!

  • And how nauseating is it when actors say ''i did this film because it seemed like a lot of fun'' what they really mean is ''i did this film because i pretend to be other people and get a 3 month holiday plus $10 million!

  • Nothing special about acting! It's easy anyone can do it, getting megabucks for simulating emotions!?? Actors are waaaaay overrated, they are just puppets being told what to do by a Director..it's not rocket science is it?

  • Ehh should've sent her home.

  • Damn, this should be nominated for an oscar

  • Absolutely brilliant. The best short I've seen. Outstanding acting. Lynsey Baxter is the most under-rated actress in this country. She should have much more recognition.

  • @therealKINDLE I have since watched it again, & enjoyed it very much. It's very sad though. Life can be so cruel.

  • beautiful tune of music at the end of the they acting of this clip

  • A heart breaking portrayal of a woman with advanced Alzheimer's disease and the strain of care on the daughter who finds the role reversal, lonliness and lack of support hard to bear. This story brought a lump to my throat. Congratulations to all involved in this film.
