Fantastic art direction. The writing, the colors - everything is so subtle, yet so driven.

[nowfilmfestival]

absolutely

[farmgirlnicole]

very good. I enjoyed it.

[nowfilmfestival]

thank you for watching

[DrummerJake14]

Awesome premise! The beginning was incredible. Ending didn't quite maintain the level of excellence that the beginning had though. Still awesome.

Great themes of coming to terms with past events and moving forward. Good Work!

[nowfilmfestival]

i do like the fact that they sing at the end

[theShadowviking]

[Duschlauch]

Jesus H. Christ! This was excellent.

For those who didn't get it:

There was a plane crash, the two were kids on their way home from disneyland with their mom and dad - who died in the crash. The survivors gathered every year at the site to re-enact the situation in order to remember and honour what they had lost (be it an arm or parents). They finally realized that life had caught up with their mourning and it was time to finally let go of their ritual.
