Awe, this is definitely a labor of love by first time Finnish filmmaker Jorma Kaulanen, starring none other than his own baby (who plays his role quietly believably well). From reading the synopsis, I was completely unprepared for what actually transpires in the short film, and pleasantly so. What parent has never imagined the life their young one has after they walk out of the room? This plays out that concept quite well, with excellent subtitles directing us as to the inner thoughts of the small protagonist. There is some mild profanity, so be forewarned. Other than that, excellent production, fun concept, great acting, lovely background music and charming storyline. I recommend it for KIDS FIRST! Film Festival, award it 4 out of 5 stars, and suggest an audience age of 12 to 18, plus adults. (Need to take into consideration the bit of profanity).
