God dammit. As a work from home dad of a 2 year old toddler who just put him down for his daily nap, I thought I would catch a short film while I eat. now my soup is just a pile of freshly cut onions
Yea I thought she was leaving her kids in the car to the bloke buying it... I was waiting for him to discover her... It was not until the letter did I realize she was actually alone
@@henessy.-.45 :-) IKR. Im SUCH a READER lol. I even read the damn sides of cereal boxes. If my eyes glance over words my brain is hooked like a fish and I READ it.
I don't think my husband expected to wake up and find me crying in front of my computer. Yet here we are. Also...the actor for Sabrina's expression at the bus stop really hammers home the feeling of loss. She has that thousand-yard stare of someone who has well and truly lost everything she loves and holds dear. It's a heartbreaking look and one that so many of us sadly recognize right now.
Thank you for watching! The actress Jolie Lennon was phenomenal and really understood Sabrina's loss. She made this film what it was - a fantastic actress.
When I first got to watch the film, I was struck by how accurate Jolie was in her portrayal of the real emotions. Richard also 100% nailed capturing those moments and emotions that are so impossible to describe.
I won't lie. When the letter was read I started weeping. I am so sad now, YET feel incredibly fortunate to have seen this film. Thank you to all those, that were involved in the creation of it. AND my heart goes out to Sabrina Archey.
Thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed the film. It is sad but the take away message is a message of hope. At least, that’s what I was aiming for :)
My biggest fear when Richard first approached me was that this would be too hard for an audience to watch. I'm incredibly thankful he found the hope in it and was able to share that through the film. He's done a brilliant, beautiful job sharing the story and the message.

There are many! It’s just that we focus our lives online now, where we’re exposed to all the news and views that “sells”, which is almost always the bold, the shocking, the unusual, the horrible among us. It’s so overwhelming we begin to think it’s normal.
Yeah thats what I would have done as well, given the car back to her. But if the story really panned out the way it did - her dropping it off and him reading the letter a few minutes later I would have driven around looking for her myself first.
THANK U to all who made this film. In 17 minutes an entire story of horror and grief and some sort of completion was skillfully told. It hurts my heart just to write this. I bless Sabrina. I don't know how she has managed to get up every morning after such a colossal loss, but I thank the owners of Sylvia and the filmmakers who have memorialised this beautiful mother.
Hiya, Richard here (the writer/director). Thank you so much for your lovely words. Im currently writing my next script, so it’s good motivation 🙏🏻 Sabrina has is an awesome, kind lady and she just became a mother again 🙌 x

Thank you so much for watching, and for your amazing comments. We agree Jolie was the perfect fit - and she's coming on the next film too. She is an extraordinary actor. So glad you enjoyed the film!
My father (Nov 12, 1939 - Sept 5, 2017) joined the record club when I was about 8 years old in order to get the Dr. Hook album with Sylvia's Mother. He was a country music fan, but for some reason, this song touched him, and it played in our home for years. Like everyone else commenting, I was caught off guard, and the waterworks are flowing. When the buyer invited her in, she said that she had to go because it was going to rain, that's part of the lyrics to the song. Bravo to the writers and to the actress, well done again, Omeleto!
This film wouldn't have been the same without Dr Hook and Sylvia's Mother. This song means so much to me in real life and I still have multiple copies, one for every vehicle and vinyl to play while I'm puttering through the house. Music really does have a way of working on the soul. Richard did an amazing job bringing that feeling to life in the film.
I'm 61 and have been through quite a handful of sadness in my life like the loss of loved ones, trashed dreams and plans, depression, etc. When the car buyer started reading the letter, tears started welling in my eyes, with all the emotions in the film coming at me like some sort of flash flood. I guess when you've experienced loneliness and disappointments in your life, they just stay there inside you forever, and a movie experience like this brings them to the fore and the natural human reaction is to cry.
I dont cry but im really sad cux i was cobfused then i realised she was dreaming her mother and daughters in there it was so sad. Is this based off a true story.
I thought that something was wrong, when she took the baby's teddy bear, and then when she started to walk away from the car with her suitcase. I didn't expect the turn that the story took.
I just read this story last week, and recognized the sad tale. It is based on a true story. So glad she got her car back. Also glad the mans daughter was able to get another vehicle, paid for by donations.
When he got in the car at the end and started reading the letter I felt like someone punched me in the chest. How sad! So glad the young woman got the car back with the help of the community. Hope she got some therapy and is doing well. My heart goes out to her.

I actually hit this video by mistake, I had been reaching for a different one, but thought, what the heck, I’ll just watch this.

Car memories are the best especially with family like your mother, brothers and sisters. The car is just an object but feels like a being too, you learn to love them and care for them like a part your family no matter if it’s old and rusty.
Lost my dad and my car at the beginning of this year. I simply can´t stop crying. This touched my soul, so incredible actors, great short. Forever suscribed.
I didn't get it at first because I was thinking she was giving up her children for adoption, then I was like is she going to jail when she told her sleeping mom to look after them... the film is a confusing but I do realize that unless it's a documentary you have to change things up a bit to make things interesting. VERY WELL DONE! The main actress was amazing. The way the story was told kept you guessing and the end is much more horrible than imagined especially when you actually understand what happened in real life. So tragic...So special was the community to reunite this mother with the vehicle that held so many memories for her and her younger daughter. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The movie poster on the bus @ the end says “THE BRAIN SEES WHAT IT WANTS TO SEE” ...which speaks in volumes. This was deep. Beautiful yet a very heartbreaking short. Well done.
Wow the attention to detail on the bus at the end. “The brain sees what it wants to see.” That was her the whole time traveling to the mans house. So freaking surreal.
I'm not as coldhearted as I thought. It's hard to make me cry in a movie. This one caused a lump to come to my throat, and tears in my eyes. Excellent job!
Pulled the heart strings and now the tears roll down my face. What a sad but beautiful story. Memories are cherished treasures held in heart and symbolic mementos like Sylvia ( the car ). I'm glad she was reunited with her treasured and beloved car of memories.
Damn, I looked into this and although it's set in the UK the mother and the daughter of the main character died in Kentucky in a housefire in real life in 2015.
@@submotionproductions At the end, there is no tribute to the youngest. Maybe it was at the family's request. I am unsure. Thank you for telling their story.
I've already seen this film a few times, as I've been lying in bed with covid, and every time I literally cried my eyes out. Thank you for this most beautiful picture, along with introducing me to fantastic music of Dr. Hook, that I haven't known before. Apart from the line with 'riding with angels', another one that hit me was 'look after the kids while I' m gone'. My God, so much love and pain, she's not able to look after her little ones any more! That's the moment when I'm praying for something to be there after death, as the thought that people should go through such pain, and then just die, is unbearable! To all that lost their beloved, (which in reality means everyone in this world) I hope that one day we shall be reunited.
This made me cry so bad. It's sad and beautiful at the same time!! Damn touched my ❤️.... She wished so much with such positivity, even after losing all that she had, this literally is something I can't define in words.
Thank you for watching! Sabrina is an incredibly inspiring woman, we are certainly glad to have brought her story to life and to have such a great friend now!
Thank you so much for watching Hilmar and for your high praise! We all grieve for Sabrina and anyone else who has lost someone. Thankfully Sabrina loves the film and how is touching peoples lives.
I cried and then cried again when reading the txt and seeing the photos at the end but in the end they were not tears of sadness but tears of joy at the support everyone joined together to help Sabrina to regain that last piece of her happy memories of her family.

Wow, never has a film delivered so much emotion and swell my eyes with tears like this. As you read through the comments, I know you feeling the same way and tears are in your eyes too. ...you're riding with angels now, my angels. Rip Wilma and Jensyn.
People can be cruel, bitter & unkind which can make us distrust the actions of others. But on the flip side this film shows that through compassion & crowd funding acts of unexpected kindness can restore one's faith in human nature. I've seen this twice now, I did like the twist in tale at the end.
My God! This really makes me cry. it's been decades since i stopped crying. But jeez! in just 17 minutes of watching this can't help but cry. The feelings, the emotions hits me. She was the kind of mother i don't have. 😭
Sabrina Archey actually has a RUclips channel where she used to post clips of her daughter Jensen whilst she was alive and occasionally her mother too.
I read the comments about crying at around 5 minutes in and thought - no way I'd cry. That letter is just f*ing beautiful. It captures every emotion of love, from the darkest of sorrows to the deepest love possible. Thank you so much for this.
Rabbit punched me right in the feels. And to find out this is based a true story too. This is exactly the sort of thing we needed to be reminded of. Our capacity to love and feel such empathy for others, especially those who truly need and deserve it.
I recently loss my dad and this short film hit me hard. because I had to give away his beloved drum set. I too wrote a message to the person who took my dad's set. However, I know that the person who has it know will treat/play the drums well. Especially because he knew how hard it was for me to let it go. My connection with my dad was music. he was a drummer and I am a bassist.
This was a lovely and heart wrenching short film based on a true story! Attachment! I am thankful that I did not have loves one to die tragically but we had to say farewell to our car last year. It was faithful to us for many many years and we drove it for thousands of miles. The car finally did not pass inspection but still was drivable. We were forced to buy a brand new car. We were thankful to have the resources but we mourned the loss of our old car. There were so many special and loving memories. I am, happy that the real owner of Sylvia was able to be reunited. I hope that her loving memories of her children and mother are overflowing!
Some things are just things, objects that we use and discard, quickly forgotten. But some things are filled with memories, with the souls of those who were loved, cherished, closely held. The thing is, we never know which is which. Not everything comes with a note. So treat everything...every thing...with respect.
With the many stares into space, taking the teddy then leaving them in the car, I knew then they weren't really there.. What a great short story though, the tears were streaming.😢
I am glad I never read the comments before viewing the film; if I had, they would have spoiled the overall impact of this beautiful film. Thanks to the filmmakers for this touching little masterpiece.
It is so good, I had to watch it over again to feel the pain this single mother felt with much understanding. It is really a sad story but full of heart and love and hope. It is inspiring. The ending captions melt my ❤.
Thank you so much for watching. This film has had a long lasting effect on many people who have watched it and so many tears have been shed, you are not alone. x
I just had a bucket full of tears.i just lost my dad too.and i realized i must take care of his car from now on.i usually spoil my self from reading the comments to know the story before it even ends.This is the only time i didnt.And oh boy i didnt regret bcoz my emitions went all down to sabrina and her 2 angels and dear mom...we lost our house in housefire too.
Oh my goodness, I'm bawling my eyes out and I see the loss you've had and I'm gonna be cryin myself to sleep now😖😖😢😢😢😢 Im very sorry for your loss sweetie😕😢❤❤❤
This was something I saw the best in my life. I don't know for some reason I am in love more with the cinematography of this. The cinematography was so good that it didn't surpass the story. It is just spot on.
Beautifully done and I'm glad that Sabrina was reunited with Sylvia. It is indeed true. Cars are memories. Story time; My husband's first car was a 2006 Scion TC that he bought while serving overseas in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge, he had it brought to the U.S. and after us not having seen each other for 9 years, we were reunited and had our first kiss in that car, we brought our first baby home in that car, moved 4 times with the use of that car and after owning it for 14 years, he finally sold it to a co-worker's son in 2020. It was a bittersweet moment seeing them drive away with it......and here's the rub.....a few days after owning it, he got into a really bad head-on collision. Not new to driving, but the Scion TC happened to also be his first car that he ever owned as well. Luckily, he survived the accident, but sadly, the car was too damaged to be saved in any way. Sometime last year, he took his own life. He was going through Mental Health issues, but I do hope that for the few days that he had the 2006 Scion TC, he found joy in driving it. My question to you all; Do you believe that some cars are meant for certain people?
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story! We think cars can take on a lot more than just metal and oil - and it's stories like yours and Sylvia that prove this! I am relived the son was ok, but so sad about the car.
Whenever one kf these gets me i try to comfort myself by saying its just a movie, its not real. Soooo you can imagine i was not ready for that ending 😭
Only the heartless wouldn't shed a tear over this. Pretty darn emotional and all I say - to say it is based on reality. The end is proof if doubted, that not all of humanity is a drop kick etc. 😥👍

Omg... I didn't know this was a true story.. This gave me chills at the end. INCREDIBLE. BRAVO. I'm so glad that Sylvia found her way home
Thank you so much for watching and your super kind words! ♥
Omg, I'm full out bawling!
I was wondering why the other passengers suddenly disappear. Never mind that. I'm just gonna cry now.
Nothing wrong with a good cry. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed the film.
That was an interesting plot twist indeed. All in her mind.
@@generalawareness101 Next time write *Spoiler* or *Spoilers* in the beginning of your comment, just the right thing to do since you're giving up the end of the story! Js
@@Leandro-X.2025.Alkebulan Didn't your mother ever tell you to not look at the comments section before you actually watch the film? Shameful she apparently didn't, or you didn't listen when she did.
@@generalawareness101 Irrelevant! You were still unprofessional with that certain type of comment. You know what you should have done. You don't come across as the type that has doo doo brain cells
That letter was absolutely beautiful. 😢
Thanks for watching. I will let Sabrina know that you loved her letter :)
Car memories are the best especially with family like your mother, brothers and sisters. The car is just an object but feels like a being too, you learn to love them and care for them like a part your family no matter if it’s old and rusty.
You're riding with Angels now, My Angels. That really touched me.
Yep, that's a very powerful line from Sabrina. Thank you so much for watching ♥
Lost my dad and my car at the beginning of this year. I simply can´t stop crying. This touched my soul, so incredible actors, great short. Forever suscribed.
Thank you so much for watching Laura and we are so sorry for your loss. This must have really hit home. xx
The part that brought me to tears was the baby staring at the mother as she takes the teddy bear from her! OMG 😭 Rest In Peace mama and daughter!
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, the little actress (daughter of the director & producer) was so fast asleep, we all just prayed she didn't cry!
Full blown bawling meltdown! I guess I still have a lot of healing left to do. Great movie and heart aching story.
Thank you watching James. Sending love through your healing process x
I didn't get it at first because I was thinking she was giving up her children for adoption, then I was like is she going to jail when she told her sleeping mom to look after them... the film is a confusing but I do realize that unless it's a documentary you have to change things up a bit to make things interesting. VERY WELL DONE! The main actress was amazing. The way the story was told kept you guessing and the end is much more horrible than imagined especially when you actually understand what happened in real life. So tragic...So special was the community to reunite this mother with the vehicle that held so many memories for her and her younger daughter. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for watching - and yes the community that helped Sabrina are amazing!
You are not the only one.. it was only one I started to read tne comments that I realized the real plot....
Oh how sad. God bless that woman. I pray she has a new family to love and cherish that get to hear about her mum and daughter every day.
Thank you so much for watching! Sabrina is a wonderful woman and continues to live her life so positively, despite her heartbreaking story. x
The movie poster on the bus @ the end says “THE BRAIN SEES WHAT IT WANTS TO SEE”
...which speaks in volumes. This was deep. Beautiful yet a very heartbreaking short. Well done.
Well spotted! This was not something we planned but when we noticed it in the edit, it was the perfect fit! Fate :) Thank you for watching.
Wow the attention to detail on the bus at the end. “The brain sees what it wants to see.” That was her the whole time traveling to the mans house. So freaking surreal.
I'm not as coldhearted as I thought.
It's hard to make me cry in a movie.
This one caused a lump to come to my throat, and tears in my eyes.
Excellent job!
Thank you!
I’m not sure how the tears came. But they did. I felt this deeply
Yes, this film hits hard! Thank you so much for watching ♥
Pulled the heart strings and now the tears roll down my face. What a sad but beautiful story. Memories are cherished treasures held in heart and symbolic mementos like Sylvia ( the car ). I'm glad she was reunited with her treasured and beloved car of memories.
Thank you for watching Alice! So are we, that car means so much to her!
This story hit hard. Makes you stop & think... Remember those you've loved & lost, and when you remember them as if they were there beside you.
Exactly, well said Jane and thank you for watching x
Exactly. This is what I’d always hoped people would take away from this film ❤️
Awww man I’ve watched so many Omeletos some are hit and miss but this one here was beautifully done. Im glad I watched this master piece
Thank you so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
@@submotionproductions can’t wait to see more from you guys!!!
Damn, I looked into this and although it's set in the UK the mother and the daughter of the main character died in Kentucky in a housefire in real life in 2015.
Wow what...?? What are the actors names
@@iMsOiNsO The names are posted ending the movie.
But I only saw the 2 names I thought she had 2 daughters and not 1. Can someone explain
Thank you for watching! Yes Sabrina and her family are int he US and we contacted her from the UK. She is amazing and so open to sharing her story.
@@submotionproductions At the end, there is no tribute to the youngest. Maybe it was at the family's request. I am unsure. Thank you for telling their story.
I've already seen this film a few times, as I've been lying in bed with covid, and every time I literally cried my eyes out. Thank you for this most beautiful picture, along with introducing me to fantastic music of Dr. Hook, that I haven't known before. Apart from the line with 'riding with angels', another one that hit me was 'look after the kids while I' m gone'. My God, so much love and pain, she's not able to look after her little ones any more! That's the moment when I'm praying for something to be there after death, as the thought that people should go through such pain, and then just die, is unbearable! To all that lost their beloved, (which in reality means everyone in this world) I hope that one day we shall be reunited.
That's the great thing about shorts. There is no excuse not to watch them a second time
Your comment is beautiful.
Heart breaking, sad, lovely, beautifully told story. ❤️❤️ in general, people are good.
This made me cry so bad. It's sad and beautiful at the same time!!
Damn touched my ❤️....
She wished so much with such positivity, even after losing all that she had, this literally is something I can't define in words.
Thank you for watching! Sabrina is an incredibly inspiring woman, we are certainly glad to have brought her story to life and to have such a great friend now!
Just damned fine storytelling. This channel never disappoints.
What is wrong with the people who disliked this video? Family is the treasure we so often don’t appreciate enough. Be well and safe.
Thank you for watching Rene - this is the important message to take away from this! We love family ♥️
Leftist democrats.
Excellent movie. So sad
Oh my... the end was so crushing and heartbreaking. It was unexpected.
Thank you so much for watching, it is a heartbreaking story ♥
So bitter, bitter, sweet. What a masterpiece. I grieve for Sabrina. So deeply sorry for hes loss.
Thank you so much for watching Hilmar and for your high praise! We all grieve for Sabrina and anyone else who has lost someone. Thankfully Sabrina loves the film and how is touching peoples lives.
I cried and then cried again when reading the txt and seeing the photos at the end but in the end they were not tears of sadness but tears of joy at the support everyone joined together to help Sabrina to regain that last piece of her happy memories of her family.
Thank you so much for watching! There are still amazing humans out there!
That story , I've seen a number of times . Played out in my life . Guilt , is a tearabile to put on someone .
Thank you for watching and I'm sorry to hear this happened to you too.
I will cry over this film for days to come.
Thank you so much for watching Adrianna. Hopefully you have stopped crying now! ♥
Made me sad & I teared up. My 90 year old mother just passed away last week.
So sorry for you loss. Hopefully you’re remembering all the great memories with your mum :)
My heart goes out to you. Huge huge hugs from a stranger. ❤️
Don't mind me. I'm just cutting up some onions while watching this heartbreaking video. Damn onions.
Hehe, there’s a few people cutting onions today. Glad you enjoyed the film :)
Yes... onions...
Sylvia's Mother song by Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show. For many moons I had not heard this song. Hearing it again in this context, my heart wrinkles.
It is a GREAT song! We were very privileged to use it in the film - it would not have worked without it!
I didnt know it would be in the film, and as soon as I heard the first note I started squaling like a baby.

I cried, because despite all the darkness around me, this film told me otherwise.
These are the best comments. I always hoped the film would benefit people and help them see the positive in the world. Like Sabrina...
I know the darkness and I wish you light.
Wow, that was really impactful. So sad but so beautiful. Just a masterpiece here.❤
Thank you so much for watching x
Wow, never has a film delivered so much emotion and swell my eyes with tears like this.
As you read through the comments, I know you feeling the same way and tears are in your eyes too.
...you're riding with angels now, my angels. Rip Wilma and Jensyn.
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment ♥️
People can be cruel, bitter & unkind which can make us distrust the actions of others. But on the flip side this film shows that through compassion & crowd funding acts of unexpected kindness can restore one's faith in human nature. I've seen this twice now, I did like the twist in tale at the end.
Thank you so much for watching, twice! There is so much goodness out there, we just need to share such stories as this. Glad you enjoyed the twist!
I'm not crying, you're crying...
Well done.
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed watching.
My God! This really makes me cry. it's been decades since i stopped crying. But jeez! in just 17 minutes of watching this can't help but cry. The feelings, the emotions hits me. She was the kind of mother i don't have. 😭
Thank you so much for watching and sorry we made you cry ♥
Sabrina Archey actually has a RUclips channel where she used to post clips of her daughter Jensen whilst she was alive and occasionally her mother too.
I read the comments about crying at around 5 minutes in and thought - no way I'd cry.
That letter is just f*ing beautiful. It captures every emotion of love, from the darkest of sorrows to the deepest love possible.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for watching! It really is a beautiful letter!
Why would you read the comments before watching the film??
Tragic! I am deeply sorry for your loss.
It's not real
@@jlrs8169 it’s based on a true story
@@flcril7735 o
God I did not see that twist coming but I love it even more. This was so heartbreaking up until the end. I cried. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching and we are so glad you loved it!
Like so many viewers, I did not see this coming. I never would have guessed this bittersweet outcome.
It certainly is bitter sweet! Thank you for watching ♥
Rabbit punched me right in the feels. And to find out this is based a true story too.
This is exactly the sort of thing we needed to be reminded of. Our capacity to love and feel such empathy for others, especially those who truly need and deserve it.
Please accept a virtual hug for your kind words and capacity for love and empathy.
@@HypoplasticRightMama Why thank you kindly, Sabrina and please accept one back at you :-)
I recently loss my dad and this short film hit me hard. because I had to give away his beloved drum set. I too wrote a message to the person who took my dad's set. However, I know that the person who has it know will treat/play the drums well. Especially because he knew how hard it was for me to let it go. My connection with my dad was music. he was a drummer and I am a bassist.
Thank you for watching Maria, and we are so sorry for your loss. Music is a great connection in life!
This was a lovely and heart wrenching short film based on a true story! Attachment! I am thankful that I did not have loves one to die tragically but we had to say farewell to our car last year. It was faithful to us for many many years and we drove it for thousands of miles. The car finally did not pass inspection but still was drivable. We were forced to buy a brand new car. We were thankful to have the resources but we mourned the loss of our old car. There were so many special and loving memories. I am, happy that the real owner of Sylvia was able to be reunited. I hope that her loving memories of her children and mother are overflowing!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. ♥
Some things are just things, objects that we use and discard, quickly forgotten. But some things are filled with memories, with the souls of those who were loved, cherished, closely held. The thing is, we never know which is which. Not everything comes with a note. So treat everything...every thing...with respect.
Wow! 😢💔didn’t see that coming!
With the many stares into space, taking the teddy then leaving them in the car, I knew then they weren't really there.. What a great short story though, the tears were streaming.😢
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed the film.
Yeah I only noticed the vacant stares about the third time through. I don't know it that was intentional, but it could be a tell.
Damn that was beautiful. Even more heartfelt since it was a true story. This is what great filmmaking is all about.
Thank you so much for watching Liz!
Crying is usually an abomination to me but this one got all in my feels especially since it is based on a true story. Great acting!
Thank you for watching! Sorry to make you cry, but hard not to! x
Was not expecting to bawl my eyes out at 9am on a Saturday
Sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed the film though.
@@richardp7205 I did. The film was beautiful
But it's so good!
Me today on a Saturday at 10:06am😢
I am glad I never read the comments before viewing the film; if I had, they would have spoiled the overall impact of this beautiful film. Thanks to the filmmakers for this touching little masterpiece.
Thank you so much for watching, we're so glad you enjoyed it!
You all know I’m crying!!!!!! First Omeleto short film I’ve watched based on a true story ♥️
Thank you so much for watching Judith! So glad you loved it.
okay when i found out that this was based on a true story i started actually crying-
Yep, it certainly gets you! Thank you for watching! ♥
It is so good, I had to watch it over again to feel the pain this single mother felt with much understanding. It is really a sad story but full of heart and love and hope. It is inspiring. The ending captions melt my ❤.
Thank you for watching Editha!
Wow.. I am speechless, and just now a few moments after the film am I allowing myself to cry.. That was so beautiful.. thank you
Thank you so much for watching. This film has had a long lasting effect on many people who have watched it and so many tears have been shed, you are not alone. x
Kinda shakes up your day now, dosen't it.
Great for rebuilding your mess.
Keep em coming. Thank You very much.
Thank you so much for watching ♥
I just had a bucket full of tears.i just lost my dad too.and i realized i must take care of his car from now on.i usually spoil my self from reading the comments to know the story before it even ends.This is the only time i didnt.And oh boy i didnt regret bcoz my emitions went all down to sabrina and her 2 angels and dear mom...we lost our house in housefire too.
I am so sorry for you loss. Thank you for watching and I hope it was not too difficult, being so similar to your own life.
Oh my goodness, I'm bawling my eyes out and I see the loss you've had and I'm gonna be cryin myself to sleep now😖😖😢😢😢😢
Im very sorry for your loss sweetie😕😢❤❤❤
This was something I saw the best in my life. I don't know for some reason I am in love more with the cinematography of this. The cinematography was so good that it didn't surpass the story. It is just spot on.
Thank you so much for watching Ahad and glad you appreciated the cinematography!
Beautifully done and I'm glad that Sabrina was reunited with Sylvia. It is indeed true. Cars are memories. Story time; My husband's first car was a 2006 Scion TC that he bought while serving overseas in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge, he had it brought to the U.S. and after us not having seen each other for 9 years, we were reunited and had our first kiss in that car, we brought our first baby home in that car, moved 4 times with the use of that car and after owning it for 14 years, he finally sold it to a co-worker's son in 2020. It was a bittersweet moment seeing them drive away with it......and here's the rub.....a few days after owning it, he got into a really bad head-on collision. Not new to driving, but the Scion TC happened to also be his first car that he ever owned as well. Luckily, he survived the accident, but sadly, the car was too damaged to be saved in any way. Sometime last year, he took his own life. He was going through Mental Health issues, but I do hope that for the few days that he had the 2006 Scion TC, he found joy in driving it. My question to you all; Do you believe that some cars are meant for certain people?
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story! We think cars can take on a lot more than just metal and oil - and it's stories like yours and Sylvia that prove this! I am relived the son was ok, but so sad about the car.
What an irony? A devastatingly awesome movie.
Whenever one kf these gets me i try to comfort myself by saying its just a movie, its not real. Soooo you can imagine i was not ready for that ending 😭
Thank you so much for watching and yes, it's a very sad real story!
Wow - I definitely didn't see that coming. Terrifying and deeply moving, both at once. Excellent film!
Thank you so much for watching and super glad you enjoyed it!
Only the heartless wouldn't shed a tear over this. Pretty darn emotional and all I say - to say it is based on reality. The end is proof if doubted, that not all of humanity is a drop kick etc. 😥👍
Thank you for watching and you’re right, there are some beautiful humans out there! X
I don’t know if I needed this movie or the opposite yet it did make me feel emotions I wasn’t expecting. Well done to everyone behind it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful, I had to rewind and replay the reading of the letter, then I realised , and it bought me to tears.
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the film and a good cry!
oh man, this hit me like a truck, very heavy, very strong... be kind, and cherish time with your loved once
Beautiful!!!
Had me in tears, loved this true story 💖
Thank you so much for watching Heather ♥
