This short film is about two teenage girls who meet and later make out but ultimately part at a carnival. While its gay/bisexual elements may have made some uncomfortable, what bothered me was the seemingly needless metaphor about airplanes taking off and landing. I was more interested in seeing their relationship grow than I was in seeing old training films about planes superimposed in a less than subtle manner to describe what was happening between the girls. My daughter calls this sort of film making "sledgehammer symbolism" and here that is definitely the case. Having the training film talk about "getting off" and other such double-entendres just seemed pretty juvenile--like letting Bevis and Butthead do voice-overs for what COULD have been a much more interesting film. I'd really like to see the film makers release a version without all the airplane nonsense, as it was only loud and distracting to me. Because, apart from all that, this was a pretty sweet and intriguing film.
