Very good short film

I live in the city now, but having grown up in a rust belt town, this short film gave me vertigo with how realistically it captured such a place, especially through the eyes of kids, as I haven't been back since. It's very immersive and well-filmed, and captures the nuance of rural rust belt life in a way I haven't often seen on film. If you're missing your hometown but don't want an overly sentimentalized or overly vilified interpretation of rural life and people, this is a cool film for you. And if you're from the city, this is a great way to get a glimpse into another world. There's a lot of heart in this film.
