There are many insightful life metaphors in this year's winner. On some levels the film can be seen as a comedy - because it is indeed witty and full of the unexpected - but it is ultimately profound and tender. It touches our emotions, all of them, from anger to sadness to love, and it leaves us deeply moved.

The film we have chosen concerns a subject that has touched many people in our valley, as well as the world. This short changed our perspective on the subject of suicide. It offered an insight into the mental state of someone taking his or her own life. We would recommend that this film be shown at high schools in our valley. Teens are one of the groups most affected by this terrible issue. We would like to thank the filmmakers for broaching an extremely difficult topic with such grace.
