Sweet film. Leaves the viewer with lots to ponder. The way this relationship developed was so unexpected, especially when the guy first called out to this young woman. Really enjoyed it!

This is beautiful to see. She really misses her dad even though she didn't know him and i got the feeling he knew her dad from the start that's why they had a connection from the start, she listens to the music he liked and thinks about him so they got to know each other, i can relate to him i was an addict for 5 years and it's so hard to stay clean but since more then 2 years ago i was able to quit and i hope it stays this way. ❤

My mom died may 17th 2014 and my dad 9 days later on may 26th - ten years ago. I spoke about 4 years ago with a neighbour that moved in the nineties but was a good friend of my parents. We shared some stories we both knew, but he also told me a few stories from my dads early working years and how they both struggled a bit after marrying in their early twenties - this 10 to fifteen minutes of talk was worth for me weeks on wasted time just to have a fresh memory linked to two of my favorite people.
This is a beautifull little piece to remind us how all not only should relate to other peoples, but can really be related to many in some crazy ways... thanks from Germany

Always such warm and human stories with such natural acting. Would know they were acting at all. They behave so normally in each short film.

As all the great ideas, simple but touching; well directed, edited, acted. A little jewel.

Huh… it’s amazing when you talk and think and listen to a person….Not to be so cautionary …we have in common——> exchanging a lifetime….
Another great short story

A young person holding dear who her father was. Iv'e met many with a sweet longing for them that have departed.

[granthurlburt]

She gave him back his soul or his reason for being or his full identity. Wonderful. Put his life back together after he'd broken it. At least he'll never be lonely and who knows-gigging may give him a money-eearning career

[kimbaker]

Beautiful. Loved it and will be looking for more😊

[ianmacauley]

LOVELY! Many of us, including me, look at wildly successful pop musicians and think "Maybe I coulda" but the majority of aspiring musos arent superstars. Sometimes they;re too well balanced to be sufficiently obsessive, sometimes they make bad decisions. What a nice guitar BTW

[gypsymanme]

I love the films here. It is so much better than watching crap TV.
