A marvellous short film dealing economically and beautifully with three main themes: the way that love can transcend time and keep part of us young: the sense of alienation that older people feel when things change around them: and the effect of Alzheimer's. There are plenty of other levels of meaning in there as well, but in spite of the wealth of content, the primary effect of the film is emotional - as it should be. Excellent performances by grown-up actors, cut-to-the-bone writing, thoughtful direction with no showing off. Sad but by no means depressing. I don't think short films get much better than this. Sadly this film has not been as widely seen as it should, for very prosaic legal reasons.
