A beautiful, moody, mysterious short! The loss of a friend as a silent, hallucinatory mourning. A constant memory that transforms pain in a state of suspended, dreamlike reality. The bond between the young man and the deceased is never explained, and even the intimate, physical contact with his ghost reads like hugging on the past, the necessity to not let him go. Friends? Boyfriends? The ghost is neither the inseparable best pal, or a sexually charged, romantic lover. Re-watching the short the apparitions of the ghost (and what he does) become clear to explain the unexpected end. Not literal, not sentimental, but highly evocative. The necessity of love, at all costs. The eternal theme of Romeo & Romeo.

Take the title literally in the most boring and most empty way you can.

This short is about a guy who loose his best friend in an accident. Then he becomes to see him around and he starts talking about his friend live inside him to his psychologist. Finally the title turns literally on.
There's no more. There's no description about the friendship, no story, and any kind of empathy... only musical moments put in a video-clip way with the indie direction style of Marçal Forés, that seems more to be a snob of storytelling than any other thing.
If you want to see a story with well written characters go anywhere but not here. On the other hand, if you want to see a desaturated indie clip with pseudo-lyric-drama background, you will enjoy it.
