This is a beautiful and sensitive short film about a boy dealing with the loss of his mother and coming to grips with how to live without her. It's well made with beautiful camera work and editing. The actor that portrays the young boy is quite believable as his dad. From Brazil, the dialogue is in Portuguese, with English subtitles that are well executed and easy to follow. I recommend this for tweens and teens, ages 11 to 15, as well as adults and give it 4 out of 5 stars. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST! Juror.
