Stumbled upon this fabulous short and am delighted to see such graceful and classic work coming out of young British filmmakers. Even if it were not particularly topical for this time of year, this moving work is a studied reminder of the lives of those who fought 20 plus years ago.
Touching on a difficult topic (age, war, death), this could have easily descended into mushy sentimentality but instead it carefully balances nostalgia and remembrance with strong plot. Clearly strong writing and direction have been employed to manage 2 of the UK's most recognisable 'senior' actors to give such moving performances in this short format.
Will be interested to see what is next for Kewhaven.
