I have to admit there were a few times early on in this short that I started to skip forward, trying to decide if it was something I really wanted to watch. Every time I landed on a moment that made me want to go back to where I'd skipped from and follow it properly. After five minutes or so, I stopped wanting to do this.
Most of the story is left unsaid. It's for the viewer to fill in the blanks, but there are enough clues for this to not be too difficult. By the end you realise you've just crammed the better part of two lifetimes into twenty minutes.
It's probably not something I'll add to my rewatch list. But it's twenty minutes that I'm glad I spent.
