Bienenstich ist aus

This short film was presented to me for review and I found it heartwarming, but shallow at the same time. It should be noted that "Bienenstich" (Bee Sting in English) is a German Pastry. Thilo Berndt plays a young boy with an extreme social anxiety disorder that prevents him from speaking to anyone but his grandmother played by Renate Fuhrmann. No explanation as to why he lives with her, the whereabouts of his parents and above all, why this disorder only effects his speech. His shyness doesn't prevent him from otherwise functioning normally around others. The acting is poor, the storyline is incomplete unfulfilled. Thilo Berndt is talented. You'll have to suffer the entire 15 minutes to find why this boy was chosen for the part. I want to see him develop his acting ability. I give this short film 6 stars.
