Very nice and I would say a life movie. Strong point made in 20 minutes. Envy is a nasty thing, it turns out that the neighbors' grass is always green. In everyday life, it turns out that it is always too difficult for me (as an individual) and, as a rule, harder than a neighbor who has things we long for. The reason lies in the fact that in our own lives we always concentrate on negative things and emphasize them, we take everything good and positive for granted. We look at others the other way around, we only see the good things that happen to them (as a rule, we mirror our own lives as well as the family couple from the movie). The wife and husband long for the "freedom" they (probably) had as young people, without much responsibility and obligation. Now with three children they have to turn more to the other and serve him, and put themselves last. Of course, this is very difficult, a man always tends to satisfy his needs first and feed his belly. The director wisely used resources that were practically non-existent because most of the action took place in the apartment, we learn everything from the dialogue and even some things from the silence while looking at the neighboring apartment. We also see how time passes, the woman is pregnant at the beginning, she carries the child in her arms in a minute, and later her clothes change. The final shot itself impressed me greatly. Perspective turns, and they are "just" a plain window through which others can observe them. I immediately got a completely different movie. A film about a young (married) couple who find out the unfortunate news that their husband is seriously ill and that they only have a few more months to live together. They try to live normally, but something quickly reminds them of the gloomy reality. The family puts extra salt on their wound across the street. They look at two adorable children, see that a third is on the way, see a caring mother who gets up at night to take care of a baby, sees a father who takes all three children, takes them outside so that the mother can get some rest after sleeping only four hours at night. They see something they long for deeply, but they will never be able to get to it. The only downside to the film is that this is a short film, I realized I had a problem with that. They're just too short for me and I'm always missing just a little more to get better depth and a wider picture. Great message of the film and I have to admit that I recognized myself in the role of the main family. I always watch everything that happens badly and negatively to me, and at the moment I forget all the great things and blessings I got, and maybe someone really longs for it. To imagine deeply.

Great short film. One of the best I've seen in some time.
