On the surface, this might seem like a flick about nothing of real consequence, while its actually about something that might befall, and on most occasions, has befallen each one of us or the other.

The entire thing is about catching a flight (and more, but one's gotta watch it to 'get' all of the other elements driving the narrative), and the way it has been narrated and put together is as fantastic a showcase of cinematic storytelling, and the power of tight screenplays and superlative performances.

The way the camera never stays with the main leads, and never lets up, puts us in their corner with all the 'action', all the way.

A minimalistic yet apt score, coupled with decent sound design, complement all the other departments assisting in narrating the tale, and the content more than pays off towards the end.

Definitely worth a watch, and there should be a way for large screens to accommodate these kind of cinematic shorts. Our televisions can only project (or not) so much....
