holy moly. I've been trying to feel *something* in Covid for so long. whatever this is made me *feel*.

[@behindtheroadsmovie]

agreed

[@esattunagur3540]

the opening sequence was one of the most beautiful things i've seen captured on film recently.

[@grindartscompany7696]

😍thanks so much, Esat!

[@chateaux-capristovall2048]

I love how the food throwing, chasing and pinning to the car bit was oh so very sisterly. 😍😍😍

[@FARAFINA221972]

Obviously the dad lacks serious communication skills...great short film!!

[@TheParagrine]

There's a lot to love about this short. I wanted more than 10 minutes! Beautifully filmed, good dialogue, good acting. I liked the rear-view mirror through the window bit very much. Let's see more from this filmmaker!

[@EmareeVA]

The acting, pacing and cinematography in this short is incredible! Wonderful film!

[@robinh4]

The dad's an idiot. Why would you tell your daughter in that way? Her parents didn't even tell her they're divorced and just spring this crap on her.

[@erucortes]

I believe that no one would pass an exam to be a parent. It is very complicated and difficult if the children of the same parents raised in the same home are different. More complicated, a nice short film I love

[@nahedkhairy9804]

very well written, very well acted..

[@user-hz9lr4fi2m]

Will there be anymore of this short story or film?? Would love see more please 💗🙏

Dang i wanted them to get along in the end 😢

[@zahara-]

I loved this! Awesome job Cameron!

[@soveryK]

Well done!

[@vincentgoupil180]

Well made very good short. The girl's mother, like daughter, probably is a work, no wonder the father wants to leave. By the way, liked the flower painting at 5:01 .

[@grindartscompany7696]

the painter is Peggie Blizard :)

[@vincentgoupil180]

​​@@grindartscompany7696 Thank you for Blizard's name, appreciate it. Good to see her work after a century of "contemporary art". *Thanks* for posting the short. Best to your channel

Very great job 😊 took me ages to recognise Daniel from Van Wilder

Good job!

It gets my vote

[@shelleyhartley5289]

Great film, BUT why do they all have to end like this? Come on!!!! Give us a little bit more closure for pete's sake.

[@booomer180]

The cake.... What happened to the rest of the cake.? 😮
