The Strong One is the heart-wrenching poetry of a young boy learning that he is able to withstand whatever life throws at him - even the divorce of his parents. As a child he imagines himself conquering the world astride a dinosaur he once saw at a museum; but now that he's grown, he recognizes that the victory was not because of the enormous animal but through the strength of his own character. The beautiful and authentic poetry, along with the vivid cinematography bring to live a story much more complex than I could imagine being told in a five minute short film. The Strong One has won a number of well-deserved awards.
