The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Four people make their way through the city, with no connection to one another, and all lost in their own thoughts. In these thoughts we find them struggling with shame of sexual discovery, the loss of a mother, the betrayal of oneself, and an impotent rage with no clear way out.If the plot summary sounds unappealing then forgive me, because this is an excellent short film. The film mixes very detailed animation with a very simple color palette and presentation style; this fits with the stripped back nature of the memories. It is here where the film plays out and, although the four people will come together, it is their individual threads that make the film so compelling. With little time or dialogue, the film nails its characters, bringing out such convincing and tangible emotions that it would be hard not to be impressed were you not distracted by how moving some of it is. It is hard to describe but the film has the slightest touches of expression, of statement, of image, and all of them come together to paint a bigger picture which is as clear as if it had been detailed in a thousand words.I cannot imagine Stephen McNally's process, but it does seem he is one to watch as his previous film (Forgot) was also one of emotional strength and impressive animation.
