Tomorrow Ever After

We learned about the movie online, and were intrigued by the summary and reviews. The first minutes already captivated me. A main character to identify with, finally! The being from the future, Shaina (played by director and writer Ela Their), finds herself in an environment (NY) where people seem to care more about money than people. I do not want to reveal too much but the sense of awe enacted by the main character is wonderful. The portrayal of "NYers" Shaina meets seem accurate of how people act in the urban environment, for instance feeling alienated, ignoring and anxious. The experience of the movie makes it look more aligned with a harmonious social dynamic the way Shaina encounters people. The experience of the movie (and its creation) is a beautiful testimony to humanity and humble modes of being. Wouldn't it be nice to encounter curious, kind and nonjudgmental beings? I cannot remember when I was able to watch a movie that was not animated where a child-like curiosity felt so logical and natural. This is a movie I can watch again and again, just to become inspired to keep being curious and kind to create this world. Please go watch it!
