I saw this wonderful piece on a cable channel. I wish I could find out these kind of films in the theater room, before feature films. Short films need this chance. Big audience is guaranteed if they are shown as complement to features. I was so lucky to find it, even on TV. OK. The short? It's a speechless film but full of narrative interaction. I'm a great fan of a strong eye-to-eye connection dialogs, between characters. "The Girl", played by Blanca Oteyza is a round character. She suffers an evolution along the story. "The Man" (Miguel Angel Solá), I saw him in Fausto 5.0, the Ollé/Ortiz/ Padrisa's film he made the year before this short. I liked him a lot, there. In this short he gives a clean performance, building a credible character. The most interesting thing in this touching story is the identification process by people who see it, starting with the first reaction to the junked girl, discriminative to drug abuse. Then, we pass by over an indifferent attitude and finally the tender to that careless gesture, so subtle. It's a voyage to human condition. A film about solitude, pain and regret.
