And yet, the film is emotionally and intellectually legible too, as its honest and raw look at that emotionally charged topic is what makes the film so captivating and powerful. It is not only a great short, but an important one too—a film we expect to be referenced and returned to in the coming years. ’ - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan FULL REVIEW: *CAST CREW* Writer/Director: Tal KANTOR Production Co: Miyu Productions, The Hive Studio Miyu Productions : Emmanuel-Alain Reynal, Pierre Baussaron / The Hive Studio : AMIT R.
