I saw it coming when he told the boy that it was going to be OK, even when he knew it wasn't. He could have said "you are about to die in my arms", but he preferred to comfort the boy in the latter's last moments of life, even if it meant more suffering for himself. A beautiful gesture.

Awesome film with great actors and amazing cinematography. I'd love to see the BTS for this as well.

The actors are good, I mean, I saw nothing wrong with their performance, but with a story as good as this one they could have been better! Don't get me wrong, I've never acted in anything so I don't really know squat, my problem with their performance was I didn't FEEL anything. This is a very good idea and script, I should've been 'moved' a lot more than I was. That's all I'm saying. I'm by NO MEANS bad mouthing this film, or at least trying not to!! I really liked it, just like virtually everything on this channel!! In my opinion, if it's on Omeleto, it's excellent! Everyone did a good job, I think if they stay in the acting world, they are gonna be award winning in no time.
