The Comfort of a Star Pillow
Hugging that star-shaped pillow at the end says everything words couldn't. It's a child's object, yet he clings to it like a lifeline. The lighting shifts from bright hope to dark despair perfectly mirror his internal state. This short film knows how to use props to tell a heartbreaking story.
