    Well thought of, really well acted and deals with very hard/difficult subjects.

    I found this an amazing movie, which i really reccomend for people that can handle disturbing scenes. I must say this is one of my favourite movies and it is not even half a hour long! Really amazing! It deals with multiple rough and complicated matters that barely anyone speaks of and it does it so well! And all that in such a short movie, focussing on one character who just gets all these bad situations thrown at him, barely getting through without getting completely insane. Very powerfull, interseting with no dull moments. Crazy good!
