There is a whole world of movie left undone there; so much backstory and possibility. What's here is brilliant, but just a teaser for what could be.

Thank You!

A beautiful story.
Good performances all around.
I really liked how the conclusion was reached in the conversation between the student and teacher.
Also, 🥰🥰🥰 the flowers! ❤❤❤
Great work.

I'd love to see gifted write a piece called paper rose... that's a lot of emotions jam packed in two words.

It was a surprisingly short lesson, whereafter she got her paper flower walked on. In most of the other school scenes, i have seen in movies, they try to make the lessons look a bit longer.... though they do show it all.

[@cecechambers1016]

Woooooow so so simple and beautiful thank you

[@janationaltreasure]

at my school, a student wouldn't dare treat a teacher like that to their face. only behind their backs

[@terrific910]

That’s lucky , the school I went to kids talked back like nothing else. A few kids even hit teachers- insanity

[@fat_boy647]

Give damn good lessons to 14 year student that is teaching.

[@judithfox2435]

Quite a nice surprise.

[@scales57]

[@terrific910]

glad you enjoyed!

It's a shame bullies like that actual exist. It seemed when I went into 7th grade in 1975 fag started being used as a label. It followed me all the way till I graduated from high school.

[@terrific910]

Wow that's sad, thanks for sharing. I hope we are slowly moving in the right direction :) and 30 years from now, we will hopefully be even more loving towards each other

[@user-wr6us9wq9s]

Will there be a part 2...?

[@terrific910]

maybe! I made it years ago. My first short film. Maybe ill make a sequel haha

[@ritudas895]

Did she gave her those roses ?🏳️‍🌈

[@terrific910]

yes :) that is implied x

[@everesttt9937]

i love this but no 14 y/o is that deep

[@terrific910]

I hear you. Hopefully people can see It was more about him being comfortable in his own skin in a way that his teacher was not. Part of it is Contextual as our culture has grown more and more accustomed to 🏳️‍🌈 rights and freedoms. Although he is very deep, so mature 🤓
