An unique connection is established between two souls who decide to spend their human lives together. Such a feeling of love, knowing that someone cares and looks for you, is hard to equal. So, there is this search in life when we try to find our "soulmate", an experience worth remembering and cherishing. Everyone can love.

You have to watch it for yourself. This little, cute film shows that being gay, straight, and anything in between isn't just about sexual attraction. It's about romantic, love-attraction. I grew up in a small town where I often heard that "gay people only care about sex." This piece of art illustrates beautifully, humorously, and seriously that that just isn't true.

Within 4 minutes, I felt a whim of emotions that most hour long movies can't open my mind and heart to. The animation is eye candy and the symbolism is very poetic.Another truly wonderful thing this film accomplished is that given the political topic of LGBT support, this film innocently opens not only our minds, but also our hearts to those who do face unnecessary judgment for something as innocent as a grade school crush. And to establish such a strong defense with 0 dialog is beyond incredible.I recommend everyone to not only watch this but to spread it to as many friends as you can. Share the beauty and love that this film offers

Considering the fact I live in Australia, I have a feeling that this short film might be classified M rather than G, because of the homosexual theme. That is a double standard, but at the same time it shows that same-sex relationships can be just as touching as opposite-sex relationships.The story was simple, yet so beautiful. The stereotypes of same-sex relationships have been challenged by doing a sexual orientation role reversal in a similar presentation that opposite-sex relationships are often depicted, but there are some differences too. It is not a complete template of a role reversal, where the middle school boy suppressed his attraction to another middle school boy. If it was a template on a opposite-sex relationship, then the love suppressing scene would not be in there in the first place. I wonder if they will do a similar thing, this time with the traditional roles on sexual orientation we are familiar with being reversed, where the middle school boy falls in love with a middle school girl, which could be very interesting. All in all, simple yet beautiful story.The animation in this short is colourful and the music really got and I nearly cried with the use of the music playing, which was so beautiful.I consider this short animated film to be a must watch, since it can be used as a driving force for same-sex marriage becoming a reality, including my country, Australia. This is coming from a heterosexual male who is challenging the stereotypes of heterosexual males himself. I hope this short will not be banned in some countries, like Kuwait and Malaysia, for example. But it seems that the ban in those countries is inevitable. It is a bit of a tear-jerker for me.
