Well, that was a sweet and wholesome 4 minutes movie.

It was like watching someone's memories. Passing moments of happiness, unsureness, bravery, sadness and then hope. Even though this short movie is truly short, it portrays a wide range of emotions. Shot without any spoken dialogues, it relies on the small moments, touches, stolen glimpses.

The movie is filmed in a beautiful way. The scenery is truly breathtaking. Supported by a good choice of music, it has this magical, light feel to it, that makes you miss your youth, first love, that is often unrequited and traveling with friends - full of happiness and undisturbed joy.

That said, since the movie does not have any spoken lines, they should have been slightly smarter with the choices of music/sound directing. There is a moment that is not accompanied by any sound, and it makes it feel empty, not finished, unpolished. It should be full of ambient noises. That would create a great contrast to the dreamlike feeling given a few seconds earlier.

Overall, well shot, well acted, well directed and produced sweet, short love story.
