Impressionist view of a family in crisis

When We lived in Miami is a short film about a young couple and their daughter who looks to be about 4-5 years old. The father seems to be mostly absent while the mother struggles with loneliness, trying to find a job and keeping her daughter entertained. Not much happens (it is not even 15 minutes long) but there is a strong sense of events and emotions occurring just under the surface. The movie's POV seems to be that of the daughter's, and as a result, the chronology is disjointed and the characters' actions sometimes seem vague and inexplicable. A fine and moody piece.
