I'll admit it, I cried...and it came on suddenly!

So, living in Mexico (twice) and Argentina (once) I have to admit a special affinity toward anything "Latin-American." When Jodi forwarded me this and wrote, "Short 5 min film, very sweet" as the subject line, I figured I'd get to it when I had time.

Director : Alonso Alvarez Barreda
Running Time : 04:50
Year : 2007
Country : Mexico/ U.S.A
Category : Short film

So, I just watched it, and for the first 4.25 minutes, watched from a distance (and semi-distracted) until the end. And then, "WHAM"...my heart took a leap and tears started.

Please, if you wouldn't mind, take 4 minutes and 50 seconds and follow the story of a sign...I think you'll appreciate it.

Loved it Jason. Short and sweet. I didn't cry but it was a paradigm shift moment that made me sit there and think for several minutes after both of my viewings. Thanks for sharing to both you and Jodi!
