    The complexity of this short film is absolutely insane. The amount of effort they put in to craft such a masterpiece is incommensurable. They really showcased the grief, anxiety, depression, and fears of the kid within all the monsters. The lesson as play is that to overcome ones fears they must first accept them. Marvelous. The kid was scared of the monsters, but to get past them, he must work with them.

    This was amazing. The monsters themselves being represented as grief and fear after a loved one dies. We try to ignore and run away from our feelings. But the intensity of these emotions is meant to show how much we loved them. How beautiful the memories that we made with them are. Even though our time with them may have ended, the time we did have was beautiful.

    Accepting grief is really the only way to ever move forward. But especially with a story like this it iunbelievably hard. Not only because he is so young, but because of the uncertaint that you can have in situations like this. Sometimes soldiers are never found. But even if they are, sometimes there is no body to bury, That makes it so abstract, so unclear, so much harder to say goodbye and it prevents us from moving forward with our lifes.

    Okay. I legit teared up watching this. The atmosphere, the silent storytelling, the ENDING. The design of the monsters, frightening and ugly. But when you stop for a second, you realize they look... pitiable. Anger, grief, sorrow, pain. These are all UGLY emotions. It hurts to touch, like all the spikes poking from them. They feel twisted and loathsome inside you. They're scary to have. But they are human emotions, and the most empathetic of them. The demons tearing apart the house, and the boy's reminders of his father, only to put them back together in a new, beautiful shape... there must be an easier way to explain it, but like, broken things can still be beautiful. Or beautiful things can still be made from broke things. I don't know. But this was SO BEAUTIFUL!

The Boy is only stuck of memories of his father.. His father had an unfinished project (Fairest Wheel).. The boy cant seem to finish completing what his father and him worked on.. He battles his emotional demons... Sad, Sorrow, Anger, Depression, Regrets, Giving up... But his own demons help him battle it out... They allowed him to see the light in it all.. The end with the finished project...
      😞 Completion and Closure 🙏

    A revelation of how our tragic past can turn into something magical. The film shows how the monsters (hunting past) chase about the child in every room of the house where he and his father had memories, at first it had a vibe of thrill and horror because this is how we feel when we keep on running away from our unresolved hurts. Finally, come to a point where we can no longer contain it then we just burst out, hence the scream, and surrender to accept what had happened, from there we can create an exceptional and magical work of art that is where the monsters or our past ceases to hunt us.

    The short Film beautifully captures what grief is like. At first the loss of someone eats you up with anger and sadness and all of the emotions that rip you apart, but then you get over over the loss of this loved one and instead you start celebrating their life and all the happy memories that came with them. This is when you finally come to terms with their death, yes the pain, the monsters are still there, but you have come to accept it and learn to look at the brighter side of things.

      Actually asking? If so, then its a simple answer.
      It hits close to home because people die, like parents and friends and family... And at first the pain makes us angry or scared.. Sometimes depressed. But then the pain becomes faded and the happy memories left bring us joy. Being able to remember the good times makes all the sadness and hurt go away. It hits close to home because we all know the feeling of losing someone but still being happy to think of them.

    Summary:
    The kid's father promised they would finish building the Ferris Wheel(La Noria) when he returned form the war. His father died in the war and never returned, and the little kid was left to grieve his father's death, with the ferris wheel constantly reminding him of the broken promise. The Fish-like monster with the hole in its chest may be a representation of the hole in the boy's heart left by his father's death, or how the father might've died.

    My heart knew I needed to see this. When my Dad died, I feel into depression and gave into my demons. I felt that weight of loss so much that I lost myself for a while, trying to find myself in loveless relationships and at the bottom of too many bottles, trying to become numb from the pain I truly felt. It wasn't until I accepted the pain that I finally let myself heal. If I could ever describe what it was like, this would be close. The anger and fear and suffering from loss this kid felt, to the beautiful way it transformed when he finally had acceptance of that loss. Thanks for making this amazing video and sharing it with us all. I felt this in my soul.

      I don't know whether this movie is about letting go of the grief. 🤔 Grief itself is not bad, but when you allow it to overwhelm your thoughts and feelings, it becomes a monster. I still grief of my own dad's death (21 years ago), but I learned to live with it and remember him with a smile on my face. I think it is not about to stop griefing, but at the end, grief lost control over this brave young man.
      I hope I was able to explain my thoughts accurate... not a native speaker 🙂

      The monsters wanted to help him because, of course, the monsters WERE him, manifestations of his pain, building a tool for coping with loss.

    This Film combines all your fears of your childhood.
    Creepy Monsters, Long hallways, Darkness, Monsters under your bed, and the fear of beeing alone.
    Plus, i think the message is that sometimes we need to face our fears.
    Really great job!

    it is really so beautifully brought out on the screen about our anxiety and fears represented as scary creatures, not only kids but i guess every being. i really appreciate the director and the writer for mesmerizing us with this short film which should be really shown to the helpless people with unstable mental health so they try to come out of such situation. i hope everyone who sees this film will cry out loud, and overcome such imaginary creatures
