Charming vignette about entering adolescence

The fact that the young people who put this short together decided to set it in 1973 surprised me at first, and then I decided that just made the universality of the feelings involved that much more touching along with the fact that Ireland is a long way from where I grew up. The girl who plays Heather comes across very naturally. You can read all her feelings on her face, and there's a lot of subtle nuance to convey in just a few minutes.
