    The intimacy is exceptional to a point that it doesn’t feel like PG13 anymore. Gliding smoothly in complete unison oblivious to their surroundings. They seem to be in a state of euphoria, truly amazing.
    And then, the post game commentary didn’t differ much from a football game and helped me snap right out of it.
    None the less it is a very inspiring video! Thank you!
