The first virtue of this short film is the admirable acting of young Emmanuel Tsao.
The second - the precise, gentle craft of story.
A 12 years old boy losts his mother. Suicide. The refuge - memories about the together moments, the try to understand her gesture, the work for a gang and the simple exercise to learn to use a gun.
A touching story, impressive for the nuances defining it, stains of clash between melancholia and nostalgia. Impressive scene of scarf hang on lamp ( the images are just strong muscles for story ).
In short, one of beautiful, in profound sense short film about end of childhood in dramatic circumstances.
