Al iniciar el short estando el chico sentado en la silla, no enfocaria todo el paradero sino solo captaria sus expresiones y los dialogos iniciales. Para que el short no evidencie lo "paranormal" de la trama de manera inmediata, para que despues empiece el dialogo con la chica y se vaya desarrollando ...jejeje pero de.todas formas me gusto mucho el short. excelentes actores..

I believe it was a paranormal event, and when he got up, it merged into reality. 👍🏻
A horror film where the protagonist survives? That's rare, these days. Also, this was delightfully cerebral, instead of relying on jump scares.

Rare? In every film the protagonist survives, the supporting actors usually die.
As someone who almost jumped into a lake to end it all, almost 6 years ago, this hit hard. I’m glad I’m not currently haunting that particular lake at my uni.

I’m glad you’re still here, and I’m glad I’m still here to tell you that. I swallowed a handful of pills last February, and was disappointed and furious when I woke up. I am better now, and I’m glad I did. I’m glad you chose to go on. It is the ones around who we leave behind who would suffer. That voice is a liar. You aren’t a burden, you aren’t a disappointment. Someone loves, or will love you. You. Are. Worthy. 💖🌸💖
Really enjoyed the fact that this film is not like other cliche horror films with jump scares and monsters. You really need to watch it twice or more to see all hints and double meanings in dialogues. It’s deeper than it seems:) Great actors, great director and a crew 👏🏻 bravo

A horror story with a positive ending is really refreshing. And using the "epilogue" voiceover at the end to punctuate that is brilliant. What's also notable is that it didn't need to advertise itself as an "Award Winning Horror Story" as so many others do. In fact, that's very much in keeping with the quiet, understated feeling of the film itself. Well done! Please make more like this!
What I particularly liked about this video is that beyond its «horrific» aspect, it offers us, through the speech of the ghost of the girl who mysteriously appears next to the young man waiting for the bus, a message of courage, of resilience and hope in life. What she tells the young man is that we must never give up in the face of adversity and that life is worth living, despite all the hardships it inflicts on us. In short, she encourages him not to commit the irreparable as she did, throwing herself in front of the bus several years ago, out of despair.

@@depassage2698 This is actually a really interesting take! The way I thought about it was when she said "My friends pushed me" I thought it meant that her friends pushed her to end it all because they mistreated her. I thought the other 2 ghosts were people who committed suicide in the same way. They went there at their lowest moment in life to end it all, and like she told this guy that he was a failure, she said the same to the other people at a moment when they already felt that way, so she metaphorically "pushed them" to commit suicide. Regardless, it's dark. Loved reading your perspective!
the way the girl was actually something more than I expected. Thankfully the boy survived
I got rejected from uni of my dreams a while back and I know exactly how it feels when you are a teenager and everything is pressing on you and you pretty much feel like your life is over :/ I’m glad there is an ending where he survived and come back to him mum and tells her he loves her so it shows that he started to appreciate his family. Film itself is great, scary, intense, deep, love dialogues and music! Amazing work!

Nice story. It was predictable that the girl just appeared is a ghost. Kids can be really cruel. I have been pushed down the stairs at school because everyone hated me. Somewhat it reminds me of that... The feeling when someone is pushing you like that is just terrible.

Cool, not bad, Team! The symbolic things like the man standing there, the clock- you know, it Has something to mean with his fear or whatever his Problems are. It was in my eyes a little project to let the people remember, to learn to handle your Problems on a way, because time runs and so on... This is a calm movie, because (in my Interpretation) with no much dynamic, much more horror on a ; what if you had those things on youre side, in youre head? Not even monster are there. I also saw, that your life can be horror. The others are feeling it. Of course, there is more you can analyse of this well done project! Well, I also were a bit bored in the middle of the movie, cause there is not much happening. Well, this is what I meant! You wanted to have time for explaining this topic. Go on guys! Like it!

It's not a "good ending" we think he is alive but he is not. the monster is the girl who uses the bus to kill people (with yellow eyes). on the tombstones, we can see the date of the death of the young girl: 1978. which implies that she died before the lady (2012) and certainly the old man: Finally some signs: - the two ghosts do not intervene. The boy sees them but the girl diverts his attention - the old man shakes his head to the girl who diverts the attention of the boy - she holds him back when he wants to leave - she indicates that it is the tormented souls who die (she knows the rule because she kills) - we see his true face at the end - she explains that she has been pushed by a man girl under the bus (this IS why she haunts the bus stop now and kill Lost souls) - she throws him under the bus - the driver has a very quiet reaction ( a boy literally fall in front of his bus...) in short, the end is like a dream but obviously, he is no longer alive at the end but a ghost who will be lost. Good movie and good acting!
