Quite an unusual way to tell a story! This took me a while to get in to but once I did, I did and I really appreciated the ending.
This has a story inside of a story - one being a mother telling a bedtime story to her son, the other the story of what happened at work and how the mom got to her son's talent show.
The production is pretty good -- good audio, good video, appropriate shots. The cast consists of the mom and her son and the mom's officemates who all have face paint on to identify them as the "squirrels" in the story. It's confusing why the mom, who's also a squirrel, doesn't have the same treatment to her face. The pace is a bit slow at the beginning, but picks up about half way through and the ending is particularly pleasing.
The film's message is about standing up for yourself.
