This story starts with a man named John who finds a white glove on the ground while going to class. A woman named Angela (Lyla Tsiokos) comes up to him and tells him that that is her glove. John immediately falls for Angela, and tries to talk to her. As John fails to become friends with her, he thinks that all hope is lost, until he realizes Angela is closer to him than he thinks.
This is a college student short that I believe adolescents will enjoy as much as I did. So much takes place in a little under five minutes! I like that the story shows perseverance and friendship, with a twist. John continues his pursuit to become friends with Angela, and finally makes a new friend, although he doesn't realize Angela's dark secret. One camera shot that I like is in the beginning, when we see John scrolling on Instagram and listening to music, because it seems that John is just minding his business when he finds the glove. The locations and sets suit the story - you can tell that they are students. I also like the outside scenes because it shows us how quickly you can lose people in a big city. The music at the end definitely adds suspense, because when a big secret is revealed, the music gradually becomes louder and higher pitched. I feel like Angela has some sort of character development. At first, she seems like she doesn't really interact with people that much, but towards the end, it is known that she hides secrets, and dark ones. One of the highlights of the film is the music. It contributes a lot to this film and truly hooked me in, especially at the end. My favorite part is the plot twist at the end. I love stories that have a good ending, and this plot twist is perfect, although it leaves us hanging. I guess we'll have to wait for the sequel to find out what Angela's devious little mind was up to. The film's message is don't trust anyone immediately. John meets Angela and he immediately feels a spark, but he doesn't realize that Angela is a bad person.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Ari P., KIDS FIRST!
