I was able to see this short thanks to the Manhattan Short Film Festivals showing locally in Portland, Maine. This short was the highlight of the event for me. I found the film gave a strong sense of anxiety our young mother felt as she attempted to board a flight with baby, to reach her mothers funeral.
The acting is stellar in its understatement, bringing a real charm to the characters. The emotion never feels overwrought. Though an actor for several years, Alexis Michalik is new to both directing and writing. This film displays his incredible promise, as reflected by its nomination in the MSFF, and 5 wins across other international short film festivals.
