What a great short! I've seen this one at a few festival screenings and I admire it's wonderful plot construction and emotional twist in the tale.
A great performance by Lee Boardman (now mega famous in HBO's Rome) cleverly misdirects the viewer as to what big secret lies in the past of a broken man. Set in three time frames, always clearly moving from one to the other, this film follows a man broken by life, looking after his little girl, whilst trying to find his missing wife. All is not what it seems and when the final revelation of what did happen in the past occurs, the audience I saw it with, gasped collectively and our hearts were in our throats from that moment on.
Beautifully written and directed. A really emotional film with a twist you don't see coming and a plot that moves you.
