A short film on a serious subject

Sounds interesting. But, it's not. It all just about gags. I am not a big fan of gags (Unless Bustor Keaton or Harold Lloyd does that).

The animation is good. The starting moments are picture esque. Ending scene is truly brilliant. Very few films get such little moments right, and it does that just perfectly. Despite being an animation, it captures the women's expressions precisely.
