User review:

surprising for the gentle manner to tell the story. for inspired music. for cinematography. for touching beauty. and, in same measure, for delicacy who ignores the temptation of explicit scenes and , around a kite, recreates, in subtle, fascinating manner, the story of a special friendship. it is one of few short films who explores, in wise and precise manner, the force of memories, the second chance, the passing time and the pure joy of two meets, with the tension, curiosities, trust and mystery, as trip out of time. a film for admire, detail by detail, scene by scene. because all becomes music. because the memories of characters becomes parts of memories of viewer. the result is almost magic. so, more than a good film. a film who seems be a large slice of fresh air.
