A brief, dialogue-less short about two boys who meet, love, break up, in the subway. The running NYC subway, like Democritus' river, provides a complete yet very simple image of fluidity. Everything is done through facial expressions. In Varpness' case, very beautiful facial expressions.
In a brief few minutes, Brunskill etches in the poignancy, perplexing quality and impermanence of everything save heartache. No fireworks or cant. It's like a haiku.
It is stated here that Mr Brunskill intends to expand this short into a full feature. It will be interesting to see how this will be done, considering the admirable economy with which this short intimates the basic point.

It is not original. Only precise, in admirable manner. A kind of picture of loneliness and love and break up and meets and memories. Nothing unknown but, being so familiar, it works in great manner. A simple and beautiful short film about young men and about the fragility of connection between them. The precious gift - the feelings after its end because, more a good short film, it could be a song in images.
