I am an English teacher in Brazil and trust me, things like that happen to us. I had a student who called me in the middle of the night telling me he was about to commit suicide but because he thought his life was worthless. So I said to him: _ That's ok, and I will respect you but, if you do that, please say that in English otherwise I will think my career is also worthless and all my dedication was meaningless. And he said it in English.... My life is worthless. I was like. Well, at least you will die knowing something but, can you tell me what do you really want from life... in English? He said: _ I want to be happy. I told him:_ GREAT!!! This the seed of your life, you just need to water it everyday by saying... I AM HAPPY, and everything will be all right. Nowadays he is doing very well, he's a respected engineer, he has his own family and he knows... In the moment when you plant a seed you must water it every single day. :)

Hi, I am an English teacher too. I'm from Ukraine. Teaching is self-giving, I mean if you are a teacher, you share a part of your knowledge, your heart and soul with your student. I have a private English school in Ukraine. It's the most difficult time because of the War. We are teaching in "strange" situations like no light, sirens... We are feeling scared, exhausted, disappointed and still we teach. This is the key.
Every time we have announcement about new soldier died from our town it is so difficult to cheer up students, to be energetic, to teach...
I compare a teacher with a bucket, if you are empty, you can't give.

Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about: Mr Robert, Jin, all of us. I truly enjoyed this film very much!

I am an English teacher from India. It is always a joy when you hear the excitement in your students' voice when they know they've got something right, after having said it wrong for the longest time. Every small win feels like a major victory.

He lost his wife, finally make friends, and lost his friend too. His fear of losing someone is bigger than his anger.

[natasharosa]

This video is very sad but is very beautiful too. Because don't talks about only pain, talks about regret and solidarity too.

[tehminasarwar]

I really enjoyed this movie. We never know what other person is going through, but we still try to be helpful to others. That's humanity.

[AsadChachar]

This movie hits me differently in many ways and makes burst into floods of tears... Being English teacher here in Pakistan is not easy... I loved and love teaching english... Tried widen the horizon of thinking... Got the results as students acknowledged that I added value in their life... Going through some situations ... Why didn't I see and know about this film 2 years ago 💔... I don't know if my comment was suitable and worth.

[annchamanlall]

This is one of the best short movies I've ever seen, very emotional and honest.

[cahidijoyoraharjo]

This short film should be made into a whole movie.

[afnaar]

That’s the beauty of independent film making!

[jennnestor]

I'm honestly floored at this short film. How you fit so much emotion in this little time is remarkable. It's a very moving story and deserving of awards. As an aspiring filmmaker, I would love to make work of this quality someday.

[reanmitasari]

Teaching is somehow an emotional job for me.being able to meet various characters of students helps me to develop myself far away better, I guess.they learn something from me, I learn something from them as well.

[deswitaerinimanik]

Wow. Truly inspiring. I'm also a private teacher and after watching this film, it generates awe to myself how most people keep their secrets yet some want to make changes and embrace the peace of mind to overcome regrets. Thank you Blake and Louis. You guys are great actors.

The ending, though hanging is unexpected; that makes the story beautiful.
So, i think the purpose of the man studying english is for him to be able to express himself to the husband whose wife died because of him.very touching, Sir!

[lolidek]

Damn i cried after i realized he lost his wife... Then lost his friend to suicide... that's just so fucking sad... like dude... that hit so different then anything .... knowing that um know that he lost people in his life then loosing someone else and then having no one.... that hurts because I know how it feels I lost people and I lost my best friend and damn that shit just hits so hard....

[daithiod]

I really wanted to show this to my students' summer school English class but found myself welling up from the emotion of it all. I know for a fact, my students would be in floods of tears from this short movie, so will not be showing it. However, it was a superb piece of work, well-deserving of awards. Thank you for your skills and efforts.
