Parting Gift - A shared history is discovered when Polly meets homeless Paul

[@marilynrowland5197]

Sweet film. Leaves the viewer with lots to ponder. The way this relationship developed was so unexpected, especially when the guy first called out to this young woman. Really enjoyed it!

[@angr3819]

Always such warm and human stories with such natural acting. Would know they were acting at all. They behave so normally in each short film.

My mom died may 17th 2014 and my dad 9 days later on may 26th - ten years ago. I spoke about 4 years ago with a neighbour that moved in the nineties but was a good friend of my parents. We shared some stories we both knew, but he also told me a few stories from my dads early working years and how they both struggled a bit after marrying in their early twenties - this 10 to fifteen minutes of talk was worth for me weeks on wasted time just to have a fresh memory linked to two of my favorite people. This is a beautifull little piece to remind us how all not only should relate to other peoples, but can really be related to many in some crazy ways... thanks from Germany

This is a beautiful story of friendship. Shows that even though we may have differences in age, status or diversity, we can always find a connection or commonality if we take the time to listen, talk & share in a non judgemental way.

[@Aurabora54321]

Thank you for sharing this precious memory. Had I that trusting perspective when young, the world would seem more kind. I believe youth are in a hurry, just to live. Perhaps only death slows us down... Polly is exceptional, and an example for us all❤

My mom died two weeks after my dad. I was on parole and unfortunately got sent back to prison. This guy sitting at my eating table told me he was a postal carrier. He used to deliver mail to my parents' neighborhood and would stop and chat with my parents if he saw them outside. Small world...

Beautiful short. Like a poem. Soulful and with feeling ... Thanks!

[@hannosolo]

That six degrees of separation feeling.

[@staredsky]

As all the great ideas, simple but touching; well directed, edited, acted. A little jewel.

[@leroystea8069]

This was very sweet. Loved it🥰

[@1774jp]

Excellent.

[@unfundedopportunities7278]

I didn't know about NITV Shorts until I stumbled across "The Silent Child". Loved it! Glad to see there is much more to Ireland than that awful step-dancing, and Celtic Woman. We see a ton of both here in the US.

[@BajaBandit]

oh man, what a great story. amazing job.

[@andreastevanovich]

At 07:07, I thought it would turn out that he is her father... Beautiful, touching movie.

[@daffke1185]

This is beautiful to see. She really misses her dad even though she didn't know him and i got the feeling he knew her dad from the start that's why they had a connection from the start , she listens to the music he liked and thinks about him so they got to know each other, i can relate to him i was an addict for 5 years and it's so hard to stay clean but since more then 2 years ago i was able to quit and i hope it stays this way. ❤

[@terryoquinn8199]

Good for you ! That’s very hard to do , quitting I mean . The best of luck to you and may God bless you and your efforts to remain clean sweetheart , I feel for you ! You can do it , hell , you already did do it ! Now stick with it , it’s the best thing you will ever do for yourself ! Peace and love to you !

[@kristindowner9897]

Beautifully perfect!

[@Earthsuitlife]

Beautifully acted. A beautiful piece and a nice twist at the end. Lovely, really lovely. Well done.

[@fatherburning358]

Bitter sweet story. Well done 👍

[@vking1358]

Delicate and really lovely!

[@LORRAIN-lz3wn]

These shorts are so good. I hope that you keep posting them. This is the second one that I have watched and both times I wished it was longer.😊

[@pilotblue6535]

Thank you

[@ianmacauley4996]

Beautiful - thanks for posting and stay safe! 😊

Many "coincidences" in life are not. They are "meant to be's" that happen in the moments we least suspect, but are ready to experience.

[@Jotage1950]

Hermosa historia, de verdad que ustedes hacen muy buenos trabajos, creo que ya se los dije; o no? Felicitaciones son lo máximo, Un abrazo desde Uruguay

[@jamesdoanecompositions]

Great work!!! Loved it!

[@rosaisabelortiz9366]

JUST BEAUTIFUL LOVE IT TRY NOT TO CRY BLESSING

[@granthurlburt4062]

She gave him back his soul or his reason for being or his full identity. Wonderful. Put his life back together after he'd broken it. At least he'll never be lonely and who knows-gigging may give him a money-eearning career

[@Aurabora54321]

He gave her the father she never knew! Clearly, their relationship will be long lasting.❤

[@kimbaker3621]

Beautiful. Loved it and will be looking for more😊

[@williamtoledodelima8544]

Beautiful

[@yurilsaps]

I’m all tears

[@paulamitchell1653]

Huh… it’s amazing when you talk and think and listen to a person….Not to be so cautionary …we have in common--> exchanging a lifetime…. Another great short story

[@anthonyorafferty5632]

A young person holding dear who her father was. Iv'e met many with a sweet longing for them that have departed.

[@ericjohnson3400]

Best 10 minutes !

[@sandypratt8951]

❤️👍👍👍

[@RohitBSrivastava]

Outstanding! 🎬✨ Your talent shines brightly! 🌟 Where was this film shot?

[@jillgates1340]

excellent

[@granthurlburt4062]

LOVELY! Many of us, including me, look at wildly successful pop musicians and think "Maybe I coulda" but the majority of aspiring musos arent superstars. Sometimes they;re too well balanced to be sufficiently obsessive, sometimes they make bad decisions. What a nice guitar BTW

[@terryoquinn8199]

You’re so right , I’ve known a fair amount of truly great musicians and every single one of them had a “day job” because they couldn’t get their break into the industry . I liked listening to them just as much , maybe more , than headliners because you could talk with them .

[@damienhudson8028]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@karenday9109]

That was sweet

[@gypsymanme]

I love the films here. It is so much better than watching crap TV.

I’m not crying , you’re crying . 😢

[@MJ-hl1kk]

@4:34 So much disdain for her own sex! Of course, it's the writer that's the culprit here, but in real life too, there's no dearth of women who indulge in casual misogyny, as a matter of course.
