A collection of vignettes, short scenes that interact like casual conversation, this film resonates for touching upon those inner most moments we hold dear and others we wish to let go of forever. I'm reminded why characters make films, not concepts, and whereby a concept film might operate at the basic of levels, characters breathe life into old memories, reveal decades old wounds, and give us our mirrors.
