This 15-minute short film presents a simple yet deeply emotional story about love, loss, and regret, executed with powerful subtlety. Strong performances, melancholic tones, and carefully chosen music create a poignant atmosphere that resonates with viewers. Its central message—a reminder to cherish our loved ones while we still can—leaves a lingering emotional impact, making it worthy of the recognition it received.
