Mary pointed to this wonderful little film. In eight minutes it describes a life lived by the book and the dangers of a narrow reading. I love how the filmmaker makes subtle shifts in the backgrounds to amplify the feelings of the characters. The colors are so well used, angry parents or angry child reinforced by bright angry colors. Very nice, both what is said and how it is said.
