    Deserves a view.

    This is my first comment on IMDb, hope you like it.

    I was biased by the summary, I recognize that - is not usual to see a fan turning into a sentimental being. Apart from that I saw it cause it was on a list some time ago.

    No language is spoken during the movie (some background that don't affect the history itself), so it is more visual.

    I liked it. You can see the face of that damn fan.

    Actually, the quality is quite good including in the non-expected action scenes. The director's work is very good managing the scenes.

    Don't expect the short film of your life, instead is a piece of a decent short movie with some funny moments and necessary violence.

    Thanks to technology, I do have air-con.

    A story of cohabitation. Or friendship. Affection. And, finally, jealousy. A lonely young man, splendid acted by Ben Sutton , and the fan of his late mother, inherit by him, becoming something between companion, mate, friend, source of pure - and very naif- joy. The games, the passing days, the passing seasons and the not so surprising confrontation. Not an original story but beautiful crafted, reminding a more profound reality of loneliness, Peter Pan syndrome or isolation in a sort of convenable refuge against life in its tough aspects. The humanization of fun can be the main virtue of this profound touching, for honesty, short film.
