8/10
A short film uniquely portraying a parent's perception toward her son's behavior.
polybuzzmusic8 February 2013
This film does a great job at extracting the humor amidst the desperation typically seen in parenting in the search to find a solution to "disturbing" behavior. A great amount is captured about the freedom within youth mentality versus the fragility of it in a mere 4 minutes. It is dark while maintaining lightheartedness. There is a Buddhist quality that comes through in the boy's character that leaves the viewer pondering deeper thoughts, yet the film's simplistic nature remains unclouded by the temptation to think further than what is immediately seen.

I appreciated the bond between mother and son despite her confusion toward him.

A fine definition of contemporary parenting and the essence of childhood. Few words, the preocupped behavior of mother, the simple truth behind words of child and the fine humor. Nothing complicated, all - so inspired.
