    a decision

    The tension defines this special short film. With the whole nuances , with inspired explore of an order and fight to discover its meaning. A young woman. A risky decision. The order of her superior. And the fact, the revelation, the ambiguous truth and the last scene. Well crafted, splendid game of apparences.

    Too Short of short

    It is the perfect length for what it is but this needs to be made into a full length movie. Ms. Baranova needs to star. This could even be a trilogy. Loved this short.

    Exciting and Thrilling

    Tension they built in few minutes does not go away even after its finished. There are many questions unanswered. Hope they will come back with next part soon.:-)
