Incredibly moving

I am not usually a crier but this film had me weeping. It's not sad, so that wasn't why I got so emotional. It's beautiful, hopeful, and profoundly moving.

I don't want to give away the plot so I will just say that it's about a teenager who may be considered neurodivergent and how his unique personality touches someone at just the right time.

I saw the movie at a screening at our local library attended by about forty people. I heard a lot of people sniffling around me. After the movie, I voted for it to win and I overheard others saying that it was also their favorite. I recently read that it did win the Manhattan Short Gold Award! Congratulations! I hope lots of people see this incredible movie and that it wins more awards.
