The talented Lasse Steen Jensen sizzles,you'll recognize him from the staple video of Kadie Elder's video "First Time I Kissed a Boy", & "We Are Okay Now" (VI ER OKAY NU.). the other protaganist Lior Cohen holds his own as a "friend" in a psychiatric hospital, the kind you just really have to pay attention to find out how good a friend he is portrayed as. Pay attention and focus on this story about a young lonely man using his abilities to cope. You just have to watch it to get the ending, aka a good thriller.
A friendship in a psychiatric hospital. A serious mistake. A reasonable excuse. And the cold truth. The first virtue of this short film is the impecable craft of the story. The second - the performances of the lead young actors, Lasse Jensen giving a splendid work as Tobias. Not the last - the beautiful game of appearences. And the end as a sort of guillotine. A teenager. And his refuge. A film about deep loneliness and not perfect friendship. And a smart pledge for discover us behind the self protection veils. Short, I love it.

I don't want to spoil the film by telling everyone what it's about, but I can't see how to explain this one without it. I'll try my best, though. The ending was a surprise. I have to admit that it took me a minute or two to grasp what I just watched. I think the crew did a good job of hiding this, which was obviously their intent. Once I understood the meaning and purpose of the plot, I realized how powerful its message. It's quite sad and tragic. However, I think it needs to be said. I'm really glad they made this, and that I watched it. Even gladder that Lasse stars in it. He's so perfect for these sorts of roles. I always get attached to the characters he plays. This one is difficult to let go of. I just wanted to hold him so bad. But, it's just a silly movie. A very heartbreaking, sentimental movie. I think you should watch it.
