a beautiful short film about love and loss

Warning: Spoilers
Only the memories remain.

A woman loses her beloved husband to cancer. Silently grieving, she repeatedly corrects her daily habits, like taking out two coffee cups in the morning. While she tries processing the fact her husband's no longer with her, she slowly but surely finds clues that he's not entirely absent from her life.

"Moments" really gets under your skin, especially when the protagonist finds little notes from her deceased husband and can't help but smile. These scenes demonstrate that happiness is possible even in the darkest of times. The soothing message of this film is that no matter how far away her husband seems, their shared experiences still touch her in the most unexpected ways. It almost demonstrates what life is really all about in only five minutes. It expresses a combination of loss and love, pain and joy and the peculiar experience of these two extremes coming together in a single moment. The film is a declaration of love and illustrates what's left of a person after they die.

The theme of sadness is contrasted with beautiful cinematography. The locations, as well as the color scheme, are great additions to the excellent cinematography. A heart-breaking story and an exquisite work of pictorial design create a wonderful film.
