  • Two strangers meet at a coffee shop, one traveler and one local, realizing quickly they don't speak the same language. They spend the day running around the city communicating without talking while forming an unlikely bond. The traveler begins falling in love with herself, and the one who taught her how.

    When they started to get closer and form a bond I started crying. I am struggling right now with being closeted and films like this remind me of what I can’t openly have. I would give anything to feel like I’m valid in my family but I don’t have that. This was a beautiful film and even though it is hard for me to watch it is also helpful to be reminded that maybe one day I will find this kind of love.

    Apart from saturating so skillfully within its short run such a déjà vu like vivid imagery to absorb you right from the very start, the short film triumphs in capturing a fragile emotive realism in its lucid rich cinematography but even more profoundly in the raw embodiment by the two actors of their characters' subjective experience, with a particular highlight being the perfectly choreographed slow dance, that manages to progressively depict the shortening of distance and building up of mutual feelings, as the world around fades around them. To offer within its short running time such a hope filled message on love, identity and possibilitiy, is commendable. Thanks so much to the creators and to the actors of this exceptionally beautiful short film.
