Americana

A great short film. It is a supperficial definition but it is the first verdict after its final credits.

It is great, first, for admirable manner to explore a sensitive subject in precise but gentle manner.

It is great for the cinematography, using the desert as frame for a huge sufferance of a father losing his child.

It is great for the tension about the effort of social worker to save the trafficked kids.

Not the last, for the impecable acting of Josh Schultz as Jack.

A story who you feel it , scene by scene. For the dry poetry, for the angry , for the imposibility of reconciliation , for the guilty and for the temptation to see the error reflected by the other.

In short, just great.
