Beneath the surface, there is a pervasive sense of despair that one of the characters can’t shake off, even when he’s surrounded by love. An unvarnished depiction of the struggle to vocalize one’s innermost feelings. In spite of the jovial tone, the ending is deeply poignant. This 13-minute drama acts as a salient reminder that we never truly know what others are going through.
MacLean’s film is a powerful statement on the invisibility of depression and the importance of reaching out to those who may be silently suffering. The film’s brevity doesn’t diminish its impact; on the contrary, it makes every moment count. For anyone who has experienced mental health challenges or knows someone who has, this is a must-see film that may provide a window of understanding and empathy.
