A young Mormon missionary at the start of his two years of service is shown the ropes by his well-meaning trainer, who comes to terms with his own failures.
Dang, that ending was so dark. I was a missionary and found much of their discouragement very relatable. It’s a constant journey of ups and downs, and misunderstanding. The life of a missionary was portrayed accurately. I don’t think I’ll ever rewatch this, just because it’s got such a twisted ending, but good work.
I have to really feel for the trainer so heavily trying to bring faith to others and it just repeatedly not working out. I also have to feel for the abused and lonely and suppose humanity is just complicated like that. Great work you never cease to amaze.
Oh Chris, if only Alan from Super Shuttle could see you now. lol. Dude this was good. I got excited when my daughter told me about a video (Naptime!) that I should watch and it turned out to be one of yours. So happy to see your successes. You’re going to do great things bro.
@peterboardman1 The first several minutes you could hear the man abusing the woman yelling and cursing and knocking around The trainee even was looking around like what the heck is going on up there but the trainer had music on to cover up and also desensitized cope After watching the end and seeing the beginning again it was super obvious and much more powerful when you know what's coming
She had an abusive person in her life, that's why she looked so broken, and was so scared when they found her hiding from that person in their apartment. She killed that person, and now she's ready to be happy.
Thanks @polo619652. I guess that makes some sense. I wish the director hinted towards that earlier, when we first met her. I think it's just a bit of a stretch to assume the audience is going to pick up on all that - from the brief moment we met that sad girl earlier in the film. Other than this disconnect, I really loved this short film. It was so good... And then a strangely disconnected ending. I think just one more scene showing the abusive person... Would have made all the difference
I thought she hung herself from the ceiling fan after killing her abuser Anyway from the first several minutes of the film you could hear the man abusing the woman yelling and cursing and knocking around from the apartment above them The trainee even was looking around like what the heck is going on up there but the trainer had music on to cover up and also desensitized cope After watching the end and seeing the beginning again it was super obvious and much more powerful when you know what's coming

I was just looking at nap time, and then I went on the channel and it said that this came out an hour ago
My god. I’ve got chills. This is magnificent.

This was really really great, Chris!
Really well done. Great work as always Chris!

I haven't laughed and cringed like this ever.
That ending though...
I don't get the ending? What was she doing in the window? Who's blood was on the wooden stick? I don't get it

@@polo619652Furthermore, she used the mormon's stick so that they get pinned with the murder and she gets to walk free.
