Sometimes a brief moment with someone can show more intimacy and affection than a long relationship.
slow, gorgeous, full of tension... if i could live inside this film, i would!

“Will you be back?”
A slow, quiet, emotionally charged encounter between two characters that highlights how some chance moments in life can so easily spiral your life, for better or for worse. An intimate and fiery short film.

A sensual short film about the pull strangers can have on us.
Watched again tonight. Still brilliant. The loneliness and longing etched all over Marli Siu's face in this film... she's so great.
Easily one of the most gorgeous and uncorny sapphic shorts I've ever seen
So Wong Kar-wai coded
Longing is the worst.
it's about the longing
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Love this short film! It's a brief look into the two characters' longing for a different life, that bein one another's, and how such a change could seemingly never be. I love that these feelings, though mutual, are never acted upon save for meaningful glances and a shared dance, and the film ends of a bittersweet note about a life that couldn't be.
Exploring the simpleness of connection, with a good dose of nervousness, tension and a warmth to its use of colour and music.

Oh the gay yearning looks…fated for nothing. A shared experience, no?
This short film is like a neatly and tightly wrapped little present. Well crafted, good acting, nice script, nice sound.
