    No matter what is going on, no matter where you think your supposed to be, when the right person looks you dead in your face and smiles you need to understand that at that time the planets align and you better get the message or you'll be searching and wandering without any notion or any destination!!

      This is a nice idea, but not how things work. You have an idealized picture in your head, and some people fit into it. A small percentage of them like you, too. But the chances are slim. You can cope mit many partners that might not be ideal for you - that’s the reason arranged marriages worked over centuries. People who don’t find someone today have basically two problems. Either the don’t go out of the house or they have crazy expectations above any realistic chance. Go out and meet people - real people, with flaws, with curves and edges, and talk to them. You’ll wonder who you like. That’s at least the credo some very happy people follow. 😉

    The saddest thing about this, is it could almost be totally real. I think we have got to the point where dating apps treat people's need for intimacy as a game. A need to be toyed with. Its very cynical, because it started once dating apps had cornered the love market, and left people with no option but to be caught in an endless loop.

    The plot is stolen from a story by Liliana Rozanova, a Russian sci-fi writer of the 1960s. One of the main characters of her novel The Teller of the Past gets a chance to see some of the big opportunities that he had unknowingly missed in his life - and learns that many years ago, he stood very close to the love of his life on a subway train - but did not even notice her.
    Having learned that, the guy spends his evenings looking at girls' faces at the subway station where he once missed his chance.

    This happens to women too. When I was young, I had sat in front of her for years. I was just considered the best buddy and she never noticed. She also went around me to get to other men. When I turned to someone else worth it, she suddenly noticed, but then it was too late. In the long run, in hindsight it was really smarter and therefore not bad. I went upstairs and she had one indebted, wasted man after another. That's probably why I was outside of her search grid. I was just the normal guy with no debt, who no longer lived at home, had a new car, had a job that paid too well, had no children and didn't have a corpse in the basement :D She would have been my femme fatale. Yes, you can really read it between the lines, I'm still annoyed about it to this day. But luckily I didn't go her way. Maybe karma was watching me.
    But for some women, these guys like me are just too boring.

    Pretty good short. I can dig the no dialogue approach. The message embodies not only that technology controls too much of our daily lives, it also creates a drive inside of us to get the best possible outcome in any situation essentially creating a race to the finish game out of life. Does having "more" make you happier that letting things happen naturally? That's for the viewer to decide lol.

      Do you consider Issac Asimov to be a reliable authority on science fiction? From Wikipedia, "According to Isaac Asimov, 'Science fiction can be defined as that branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology.' " (citing "How Easy to See the Future!", by Asimov, in the April 1975 edition of Natural History). I for one think that's a fine definition, and I think this short film fits that quite nicely.

    It was Digitally VIDEOED, not filmed. It's a SHORT not a "short film." :-) Film, filming, and filmmaking are the most misused words in the industry. 🙂 Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. Have pride and knowledge of the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers. We do what film wished it could. We are Videographers and/or cinematographers. 🙂 We video or are videoing, we do not film. That's the other RARE professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and have a better understanding of the craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you.✌♥

      Do you consider Issac Asimov to be a reliable authority on science fiction? From Wikipedia, "According to Isaac Asimov, 'Science fiction can be defined as that branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology.' " (citing "How Easy to See the Future!", by Asimov, in the April 1975 edition of Natural History). I for one think that's a fine definition, and I think this short film fits that quite nicely.

      @@zimbot_KWB The change does not need to occur *within* the story. The advent of smartphones and how they have become ubiquitous is a big, big change. How have human beings reacted to this widespread and far reaching technological change? One way is that we might easily pay more attention to a blinking %-match number on a screen than to a real smile from a real person who is really right in front of us. This film is science fiction, through and through.
