User review:

I am honestly impressed by this short film. It managed to balance a great direction and a brilliant performance by the two young actors. It describes a relationship between two “wild/whiz” kids. The feelings the film is talking about are not easy to be represented. If love is a natural instinct and we are all animals, I would say this film is about the original natural state every human being experiences during teen age. And not only then. Am I going too far?
