I have to start by saying that I don't agree with any of the reviews so far. I don't think it's meh nor am I blown away.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, it makes you think about yourself and your own life. After all, what is love to you? I'm sure you could identify some scenes as romantic or caring and others not really. Either way it's impossible to be indifferent to it.

The animation is good but for a short animated movie that relies enterely on visuals to get across their message, it could be better.

Overall, a good animated short that may even win best animated short oscar.

After all what is love? The summary of various feelings, the love that does not materialize (supermarket scene), the longing for someone who has left (the beggar scene), unrequited love (the guy with the bouquet), A couple's fight (The couple ) on the beach in Lindo but they don't enjoy it together (the old man whose wife dies), The pain of having his lover in a hospital and reflecting on why they are no longer occupying life (Motorcyclist scene in the hospital). Although complete I think it could have gone further and addressed other forms of love, the issue of love between a couple was a little repetitive.

From that the plot works very well in 1 minutes, it makes the expected really reflect in some aspects of life and what is most important and what is most important and how much we need to take care of the excess of computerization in our lives.

A short for sure for adults, a child or teenager, cannot understand or capture a message it wants to convey.

This is basically just a thought piece. It's like the creators brain tipped into a screen. On top of that it looks amazing. The shots, wow. Some of them are just perfect.

Literally writing this I'm just realising how much I actually loved it. Some of the scenes keep playing in my head, making me think and I think that is what makes a good film.

Loved this movie. Creative and unique storytelling that only a brilliant mind like Alberto can translate through film. Highly recommend to anyone who is searching for the next thing in animation.
