    This should be proof to all film producers, quality over quantity is what matters to the viewer. With less than 14 mins total run time, this short-film is an absolute masterpiece. The choice of using humor to tell a serious story about the loneliness of "being different", I truly believe it was told beautifully. I wish to thank and give many hugs to everyone involved in creating it.

      I disagree with your perspective on the portrayal of individuals with Down syndrome in the movie. The film is rife with stereotypes and paints an unreasonably bleak picture of their lives. People with Down syndrome would never have such a universally sad existence, and the idea that they would kill someone is both unrealistic and offensive. Furthermore, the ending suggests that happiness is only achievable through productivity, which contradicts the reality of a world centered on love and acceptance. In a Down syndrome world, happiness is not about productivity but about love, connection, and mutual support.

      ​@@clemens3118I think you've missed some of the message. Portraying them trying to kill him isn't meant to suggest at all that killing him is something they would do because they have Down's Syndrome. It's meant to show that "getting rid" of physically different people is something that OUR "normal" society, historically. Moreover, it says the opposite of what you think; it's saying they aren't even capable of our REAL WORLD brutality in their world because it's too complicated.

      People with Autism can be seen as unable to do certain types of social behaviour well, but they can also be seen as the people who invent half the stuff in the world, and who build and maintain insanely technical and precise machinery while also being able to communicate intricate concepts extremely well; once you learn how to communicate with them. :)
      It takes all kinds.
