It's a beautiful story, directed with real emotion and class, acted superbly and scored perfectly.
I cannot think of one constructive criticism. I absolutely loved it. Stunning work Mattan. Absolutely stunning. And I mean that.
You are the real deal my friend. Congratulations." - John Murphy (Hollywood Composer: 28 days later, sunshine, ect.)

there are so many young guys out in the streets working hard to survive. this story made me cry for that. i hope every single young boy/ girl would have the oportunity to get a better future and better life
Have you *honestly asked yourself, **_WHY?_*
@@penboyasgod6103 The disparity of wealth . The super rich and the super poor. The gap is widening. Especially in the USA. The rich think that they deserve the obscene wealth and that the poor are lazy and inferior. In Scandinavian countrys it is less so.
What an amazing film ! One simple act of kindness has changed both of their lives.
Im a Filipino living now in United States but my love for Mexican is tooooo big. The best people in the world.
Hi
THE MOST FRIGHTENING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!!
I miss my family in Philippines. .
Specially my Mom ,and my brother ,sister.
Abdullah Espina I’m sorry
We miss you too good luck Jaan idol
Hope you will meeting your family again
The film made tears in my eyes. Short but so touching there are lots who are trying to reach their families.
That kid sure manipulated him out of that ticket LOL
Man I'm crying. This is a real human story. I hope it sends a message to everybody about family and helping a human being.
i thought yhat clip was great
A little kindness..no matter how large or small can and will make a difference in someone's life and ours.
What a sweet video. It suggests that there is a wisdom that important businessmen sometimes forget, but which directs the life of the lowly.
Tan honesto y crudo, un gran trabajo de comprimir una gran cantidad de emocion en 8 minutos y hacerlo creible. Great job!
The expectant businessman father was hot!
Kids not half bad either.
this story is about kindness.
No hace falta una gran producción para contar una buena historia. Ni saber idiomas para entender de que se trata. Ni galardonados actores para interpretar los roles. Lo más importante es saber cómo contar esa historia en tan pocos minutos como en este corto. Magnifico!! El chico de las flores, espectacular su interpretación. Me conmovió. 👏👏
The business man was a like an arab,he's so gorgeous
I'm deeply touched
My first thought: If this guy can afford to give away his ticket, why didn't he just *buy another SF ticket* so they could sit together and talk on the way to SF?
And for the record, family isn't always "most important or #1" if they're not *behaving as family.*
Exactly what I was thinking as soon as he said that line. In my experience and lifetime observations families are mostly destructive, merciless and not loving or supportive if you are different or want different things for your life.
LOL We made this jr year of High School for a 48 hour film competition! This comment made my day. You are 1000% correct but hey we were 16!
The second point, I agreed with... 😊
@lil Clock - you can buy ticket on the train... (you may not have known this)
I just wanna say I really love this short movie, so much I've used it twice in my English classes. It's moving and really relatable. The cinematography is simple and effective, using mostly natural light and playing with the colors. The actors are also really god.
Oh and the soundtrack does a really great job at stablishing the mood! I think it's just too much used sometimes, too noticeable. Sometimes, less is better.
Just love this movie ❤❤❤
I am a Srilankan live in London UK, my family lives in Srilankan. I miss them so much specially during the covid19 pandemic very difficult to visit to them 😪
Soul touching indeed! Beautifully thought and evocative and emotional.
Que se puede decir de un cortometraje que impacta el corazón con esas bellas virtudes, solidaridad, amistad dones que nos hacen ser mas humanos, cuando podemos ver mas allá de nuestras necesidades y empatizar con nuestro prójimo, al amar a los otros estas haciendo algo muy sabio. Gracias por subir esta película.
What can be said of a short film that impacts the heart with those beautiful virtues, solidarity, friendship, gifts that make us more human, when we can see beyond our needs and empathize with our neighbors, by loving others, doing something very wise. Thanks for uploading this movie.
This damn video, makes me want to cry every time I see it.
so amazing, we need rich people like these who are not confined to themselves
Love this film
It drives me to tears
2 mins in and I just Know I'm gonna cry at some point
Chorei muito.muito.
Lindo esse curta obrigado. Recife Brasil
family is very important
Plot twist he brainwashed the man to get the ticket.or why would he get up? Mission accomplished.
❤ Me encantó ❤
Más que en palabras, se entendieron desde el corazón ❤ A veces, un minuto en tu vida, con la persona correcta, puede ser tan relevante ❤
WOW!!! What an eye opener!
What I like best about this film is that I can understand the boy's Spanish. He speaks slow enough for this gringo.
i've been living in the street for 5 years until now....it felt nothing worth in life without family and love.
Offers a very simplified ethic. Still, a very well-made film. Très sympathique.
This simple ethic is all that it takes to change societies.
Awesome
An awesome short film
Sweet.
Family is not always first and he has no place to judge. No more than the guy should judge him as a beggared.
In many cultures, family is first.
@@zajournals yea I know no but I stated family is not Always first.
An excellent video despite some comments from the peanut gallery. Well acted and good camera and sound work. As far as the so called accent problem mentioned by 1 one of the cheap seats, I don't think some people understand that sometimes you have to make certain concessions so that the greater number of viewers will get the point. Especially in short videos. Also good storyline too. If it were on IMDb I would give it a 6 1/2 or 7 out of 10. Nice job.
....thanks for your adult commentary that both complimented the film and offered an explanation for the storyline.
Hay que bonito me encanto 😢😭😢😢😭
Family is most important unless you are gay like me and they disown you and hate you.
@@williamstovall6064 don't "Hate" them, you r a better person (I hope)... wish you well
Story of my life. Stay strong brother -
Can relate!! If you need anything I’m here !
I can relate to that. You can't choose your family but you can choose your friends, and friends will like you for who you are not what you are.
With deep respect to your absence. I think that trying to forgive, at least in your heart, makes you LESS unhappy and fuller. You love and will continue to love your family in spite of everything, do not embitter your life by hating and giving time to the time. "Family Constellations" is an excellent resource to understand us more deeply.
Wow...such a simple yet endearing message. The world would be so much better if we all learned to communicate with one another, as opposed to seeing one another as different and in different categories, in different boxes.
Gd bless you all!
💥👊💯👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍Kudos👏👏👏to EVERYONE involved👋🌹🌟🌹✌

Great story!
I cried a lot while watching it.. I miss My family very much but I can't stay in our place because my job is here instead of going home as much as I can instead I'm going to send money for them..
Hope one day you will be with them
Bonito diálogo.
family is everything!!!?
And family comes first💜💜💜
Beautiful....
nice movie..family is the most important..
No words to describe
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great story! Thanks for posting it.
out standing. loved it
Un corto grandioso, con un gran mensaje. Me encantó
I have always know that! Too bad they do not because of "The almighty dollar" that isn't really all theirs. Still try to love always
$5 for a flower!
Overpriced is an understament! LOL This kid is a businessman!

Lol
Carlos R in my store they sell them for $20 in Kroger
This film has a GREAT message. However, the Spanish speaking actor's attempt to speak "broken English" is not very convincing. It's clear that he also speaks English, as there was no trace of a Spanish accent when delivering some of his lines like, "Family is the most important".
Also those roses he was selling for $5 each were almost dead. The guy in the car purchased 1 rose and the business man purchased 4, so in less than an hour this kid made $25 tax free + a train ticket to SF. Yeah, he's definitely not going to sell that ticket lol
*_What is it?_* Street people? Family? Trying to con people with flowers?
[I still gave you a +1 because of the rest of your comment, though.]

WTF is your message? That you can read the name on a comment?
Just go with the flow, my friend! It's not Ibsen!
Maybe I misread your intent but your comment comes off as snarky and ending with a sarcastic innuendo that the kid will sell the train ticket instead of using it. I don't understand that reaction.
Realistically that kid could be out there for hours without selling a single flower. The driver might have realized that and bought an almost dead flower because the kid is trying. The business man after getting over his self absorbed tantrum realized that he walked into the kid attempted to make up for it buying flowers then giving the kid his ticket.
Whether the kid used the ticket to visit his family or cashed it in for a refund is his choice to make. I think his choice should be respected as much as whatever choice you or some wealthy person would make.
Even though my Family aint sh#t this was a great short film..
So lovely ❤️ the message is beyond boundaries. Superb Cast and Script. Worth watching it❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!
very good message in very less time
Lastima q no estuviese subtitulado al español..🤨
The "mexican boy" has got a native accent for an English-speaker, no matter how much he pretends to be unaware of English grammar. On the other hand, his Spanish is coined, for as much as his grammar is alright in this respect, he ignores true Spanish sounds and produces this language using an English phonology.
You are correct haha LOL! We made this jr year of High School for a 48 hour film competition! He wasn't an actor just our buddy who was free that day.
@@jaysalahi8673 Really? You made this film?
A nice story
😭😭😭whose are watching this from Bangladesh 🥰
AWESOME rendering
my heart!
We get preached @ about everything: don't fat-shame, respect the environment, accept people who think they are a gender other than what they physically appear to be for who they think they are, give a woman 100% decision-making power to terminate pregnancies w/o input from her partner---I think we can handle *a* sermon on family.
dont multiply!!!!
Superb story
Great film. Im moved by the story.
Great clip. Well done job.
Sequel of the film - The flower guy sold the ticket to someone and had marijuana at that night. The nice guy who gave away his ticket, has spoiled his career and now he also has marijuana in another corner of the city.
Wow , thats how God works!
Ohh here in the Philippines we call in the shoes as "sapatos"😂😂
Me encanta
Muy triste pero muy bien una familia
family comes first.......
sometimes not family not first
Moments later, he sold that ticket for heroin.
Lindos sonhos
lindo ,,,,
Very nice...Thank you
it is more than nice story
Можно перевод
LOVE ME AS YOU DO
The end was predictable as he finds the ticket.
não tou entendo nada rsrs
Nice message bro
la historia esta muy bien pero segun el muchacho vendedor de flores no sabe mucho ingles pero cuando empieza ablar algunas frases al final su acento es perfecto osea que se nota que si abla muy bien ingles alguien que sabe muy poco ingles no se expresaria asi con el ingles como lo ase el ...un pequeno error.. que se les fue pero toda lo de mas muy bien felicidades..
es una pelicula
Roberto Alvidrez bueno, tú no sabes escribir
