Terrific character development and dialog in this cinematically beautiful piece. I enjoyed the relationship between the characters and the gritty realism. The surprise ending caught me off guard, as well.
A wonderful short film, which might make for a nice feature project too. I'd like to see this one expanded, as the characters and scenarios are sufficiently compelling to warrant more screen time and further development. Especially interesting are the scenes between the couples when they are experiencing difficulties in their relationships. These scenes shed considerable light on the ways in which people interact with one another when they are unhappy in long term committed relationships but still fighting to keep the flames alive.
I loved the performances, and have seen these same actors in various TV dramas before. They really deliver the goods here, as well, and bring a strong sense of urban realism into this film. Veliz is a filmmaker to watch.
