v.good emotional film-great
Babak, How can we show this at our Film Brothers Festival of Shorts on Sat Few 24? Please email me?
How many goldfish did you kill to make this film? And how many blind people do you know who keep goldfish?
The glass fish bowl broke… The blind man gropes around amongst the glass shards… And, not a trace of blood? Plausible?? Nah… Message is nice, but make the film a little more realistic, please…
what is the message, i dont get ?
This film won at least 55 International short film awards if not more. The story touches the heart of humanity, a sense of belonging and connectedness. The desperation and effort to do anything for a loved one gets depicted here. Being a water damage restorer this short film reminds me of how we often sweat for small stuff and forget about simplicity, what really matters and humanity.
Ainda que não tenha sido apresentado o sangue como alguns queriam, a mensagem está nas subliminares… Somente os sensíveis podem compreender!!!
O que está publicado acima, está diferente do que realmente publiquei!
Correção:
Ainda que na mensagem não tenha surgido o sangue questionado, o que se tem nas subliminares fica por conta dos sensíveis!!!
Continua publicando errado!!! O texto é distorcido. Afffffff…
While watching it i was searching for the fish myself, i could feel the broken glass and even the fish kiss, i hold my breath, so happy , i coulf ferl the time limit, Gripping . Love is simple.❤️❤️❤️
From Iran, breath taking and emotional, mutual love , connection by heart , not eyes❤️❤️❤️
Excellent. Above all the film doesn’t look artificial at any stage.
Hello my name is Mohamed Singer
I analyze short films
I really liked your movie
Will you allow me to analyze it on my own channel?
I loved it. I used the movie in a retreat setting. The theme was God’s kindness as our natural habitat and perception. The scene where the guy tries to restore fish’s natural habitat is very moving, that’s how I see God in my life- trying to restore my natural habitat with God’s loving kindness every time I find myself out of it. The last scene with the hand and the fish is priceless.. that’s what this life is about -the encounter, intimacy, connectedness, being.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift in this way. Blessings
I used to imagine that plants grow at the end of the film around you
lovely film, my favourite very short film so far
çok güzel ve duygusal bir kısa film… ama uzun film seyretmiş gibiyim.. teşekkürler.
Breath catching film. The few seconds seemed like an eternity. I was paying all the time for the blind man not to get a cut from the broken glass pieces on the floor and also for the tiny fish to get its share of air – to be saved. Thrilling experience indeed.
