This short has an impact and it does it in just 20 minutes. Dayo is a grieving rideshare driver who picks up a passenger who helps him confront the past.
Not that predictable in my opinion, but it's still emotionally charged and effective.
I would have chosen a more shocking ending, I noticed the ending was somewhat abrupt
It is also a reminder that you can overcome your grief with small steps, and those steps are worth taking. There are many references, loneliness and also suicide. And also how one can feel alone in one of the busiest cities in the world? Very sad, grieving alone among millions of people. The actor David Oyelowo just does a really great acting job!
I also noticed references to the use of mobile phones, I see all the clients in the taxi with one, just like at the beginning of the short, if many already have a stressful life the mobile will distract us even more. Think about one thing, we only live once on this planet, take advantage of every moment that makes you happy, because life ends quickly, one way or another.
I recommend The After without a doubt!
