This is a solid short film that combines the mysterious quality of the hang drum with a story about loss. The director maintains a strong tone that holds the disparate performance and narrative elements together. Some might feel the ending jarring, but I found it true to how sudden things can happen. What also makes the ending feel right to me is that the production seems to be made with sincere feeling. The cinematography is alright but thankfully not too flashy, adding to the sincere feel. The locations, in the city streets and on the beach, are also very beautiful. The wistful atmosphere created by this film stayed with me a while after watching.
