Reviews

“Thanks to the skillful play with different languages, uncomplicated characters and a flowing plot, a film was able to captivate us especially on the screen without becoming boring. Ralph tries to find his beloved in a foreign country with no language skills. With a surprising turning point, which provides a beautiful example of love, this short film touches its viewers and remains in our memories for a long time. "
