This story makes me think about horrible war. A woman's dream is so dreadful because an enemy is going to kill her husband. She ends up suffering from mental illness.

I think the movie is difficult for me to understand minutely but when I had understood the content of the story, I thought this movie is good for children who do not experience war because they can know how fearful the war is and it is not right. In addition, an actress' performance is so wonderful because I think her performance has reality that I could not take my eyes off. Also, I fell miserable because people's personality has been changed by surroundings. This man and wife changed a complete about-face. Finally, this image is almost dusky ant it is easy to understand.

I was surprised by the ending because the movie's ending is different compared with almost all movie endings. I think teenagers do not know about war and the times in those days so they should watch and learn about it. this movie is so nice.

A woman waits for her husband to return from the war, alone and heartbroken, and also being hunted by the ghost of the same war.

The short certainly knows how to grab the viewer's attention. It starts with a slow pace, which is maintained throughout the entire short, but just when the viewer thinks that they are going to get bored, there's an incident that hook us right in. The strangeness and the surrealism of the situation let us see just how much the woman is suffering by the absence of her husband, no dialogue needed.

The placing of the setting is amazingly good, too. Without truly mentioning out loud, we know-- by the silence of the women, the state of the house, and the sad feeling of it-- that there's a war going on, and that the main character has been left waiting, and waiting.

Despite its good points, the ending is a little anticlimatic. There's no resolution for the woman, and the incident that hooked the spectator in isn't explained at all. Even when the short manages to grab our attention and have us patiently waiting through its slow pace for a resolution, it fails to deliver a satisfying explanation for just what the story is really about.

This is the story about a war. A woman waits for her husband. He goes to battlefield. She really worries about her husband. She has nightmare again and again. The nightmares are about husband's fighting. Her husband is killed again and again in her dream. One day, her husband comes back to her. She feels easy. However, she look an ear. That is enemy's one. She was surprised. She think he is not former him.

This story is too difficult for me. However I really think about this movie. Why is she does not want to touch by her husband? It is difficult program. They love each other and she waits for him for a long time and meet him? The war is so sad. The war is makes him that he is not former him. The woman may be sick of mental.

Please watch this movie, and think about this movie and war.

I thought this movie described many times foot. The first part of this movie, I was impressive that scene underfoot of girl wearing new shoes and clothes. Her foot like she ware tap dancing the first excitement of the movie. Of course, it was excited me. The next, it was also good scene that underfoot of two girls ware walking along the line with holding hands. Depiction of her foot of the second half and first half was not very opposite. Her feet reflected in the second half of the film were, very dark unlike the first half. In the same way, Compared to the first half and the second half, depiction of their hands of the two girls ware different impressions. Especially, I felt something that nobody knows that scene two girls holding hands when they go home on the end of movie. I thought hearts of children are very difficult. Would her father and mother have been aware of the change of heart of their daughter?

The story is about a wife who lives in remote house in winter, waiting her husband to return from the World War II. She has a bad dream about her husband that keep bothering her. But after his return, she has a new fear. The movie has only three characters, but most of the film focus on the life of housewife. We can basically understand what is she worrying according to her hallucinate and the way that the movie try to present her husband's photos. There is some dialogue at the beginning and around the ending of the film, which is really hard to understand because of the accent. But it is not that important to the main plot since most of them are being told by visual story telling. I think the main message that the movie want to show is at the end of the movie, portrait from the real situation after soldier return home after the war. Most of them have changed. The movie shows concrete situation that may happen to many household in the war era. Which I think tis is a strong point of this movie.
