Brilliant

[mjcr93 · 10/10 · 19 November 2013]

This beautiful film tells the story of a lifetime in the span of 11 minutes. The simple, yet elegantly crafted tale begins with an elderly woman in a full care facility who wants to send a text message to her daughter.

A young woman brings her tea, but before the elderly woman will drink it, before she will do anything else, she must send this text to her daughter.

The young woman tries to help, but of course there is difficulty mastering the technology. Just when her patience has run out, so has yours. At different moments you will empathize with each of the women.

This film was a favorite at the 2013 Naples Film Festival.

After its end, you feel, you know, than it is more than a film. For part of public, it could be a life lesson. For other part , it can be a testimony. But each definition, clear view, is wrong. It is an elegant and seductive short film. About two women, about a desire, technology, fundamental words and looks. Just admirable work.
