There comes a time in life where we have to move forward past where we got stuck.


There comes a time in life where we have to move forward past where we got stuck. In one film, Rosa learns that gravity is stronger than everything else in her search for something to grab on to. In another short, when it comes time for her best friend, Misha, to move abroad, Fanny wrestles with feelings of jealousy and abandonment. However, Misha's will to make the best out of their last day together overrides Fanny’s initial sadness. In the last film, a young man thinks he's finally found a true companion—is she for real?
