a decision

Australian drought remains a generous subject . This film explores it is precise- beautiful manner, from cinematography to the acting. A bitter story of a happy young couple front with a terrible event changing, in dramatic way, everything.

A powerful message and a honest perspective about vulnerability, answer to crisis, form of love and radical decision.

It is inspired by a real case. But one of its virtues is exactly the feeling of viewer to see one of many other cases in which simmilar solution was the basic option. And you expect than the sacrifice was not executed.

In short, for so many reasons escaping to words, a great short film.

Powerful message

This film was extremely eye opening and really highlighted the devastating effects of this drought that we are in. The film is beautifully shot and definitely gets the message across, I would've loved some more time to get invested in the main characters but there's only so much you can do with the time restrictions of a short film. Hopefully a long feature film will come out so we can be fully submerged into minds and emotions of the characters and the hard life they live Overall great film and definitely needs to be seen by the masses so people can realise what tragety this drought really is.
