A heart-warming triumph

An extremely moving piece of work sensitively acted and directed in an outstanding location which accentuates the grandeur of nature and the frailty of mere humans but also the magic that makes life worth the effort and gives us optimism. The main character, Robert, manages to convey a wide range of emotions with a minimum of gesture and expression and I will be looking out for some work by this excellent actor. I have given this short film 10 out of 10 on the basis that I cannot see how it could possibly be improved and it tackles a complex aspect of the human condition with superb insight that we all can identify with ease. Highly recommended.
