      Nikola's mother, supposedly lying dead in the courtyard, visibly blinks. It's quite obvious as the faces of Nikola's parents are both in close-up in a dramatic shot.

    Excellent short
    We watched this recently in one of my film school classes and I was greatly impressed. The story is very simple and told in a highly visual style. There is almost no dialogue, which makes this originally German film accessible to non-German speakers like many of my classmates. I was instantly engrossed in the film, from the opening images of the aftermath of a traffic accident. The story is well-paced and not overbearing, as student films have a tendency to be. The photography is nice and even beautiful in several places, but it is never distracting and the story is always the focus. Excellent work.

    This is a filmmaker to keep an eye on.
