Review
This short film amused me so much. There was no dialogue but communication was done creatively so that the audience will understand and feel the emotions in the short film.
The flashing of paper with words to communicate to the other person made the romantic film so endearing. In addition to that, the soundtrack made the film more special since it goes with the story development. When the man was alone and seem to be searching for something, the music was slow. When the characters were perky, the soundtrack goes with it with an upbeat music. The actors expressive faces also contributed much in communication.
Your comments are welcome.
