The film’s central theme revolves around the pressure Sofia faces, mirroring the experiences of many in their twenties, who are still navigating life’s uncertainties, she still has lots to figure out. When Claire brings up the topic of starting a family, it throws chaos into her adulting process and triggers insecurities. While Sofia’s actions may seem illogical, Delgado builds up to that moment by subtly showing us what her character is trying to prove to others, and herself. The realistic look of the film is what makes it such a pleasant watch, as it is easy to identify with at least one character, and the lack of dramatic moments or intense climax allows the short to instead focus on Sofia’s emotional journey. - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan

All things considered, the couple's reaction was very reasonable.

this so much hard nowadays to think since we are no longer trained because our journey is no restriction. We tend to think that everything is an experiment. So we failed if our expectation doesn't met reality,

Heart-breakingly beautiful... so real, so true to life. I fell in love with all three key players very quickly. 💕👏🏻Kudos too all and not forgetting the superbly adept crew too! 🌟

[@ChopndropLLC]

Well done 👌 loved how this was shot.

It feels very intimate doesn't it? Director Cecilia Delgado said she worked with DP Zach Kuperstein "to keep Sofia in tight shots, keeping us close to her face for as much of the film as possible; to get a sense of her desires and inner life."

[@virg0_lem0nade]
