The Birthday

This film is a short film that was made by starting off by receiving only lines of dialogue. The director and screenwriter start off from scratch and create their own story using only those words. They are only allowed to use the words given, and other film makers competed to make the best film using the same lines. The setting of this film is assumed to be during World War II at the time of the Holocaust. Three little boys dressed in uniforms step into a house. They notice someone is behind the rack. One boy follows the shadow while the others runaway in fear. There he meets a Jewish girl and they talk like there is nothing between them to dislike. The story turns out to be a very heart warming one. I enjoyed watching this film, and I can understand why this film was awarded first place!
