    It is a very dramatic story, but with a lot of feeling and heart, really touching. I found the ending very tender and beautiful, with the music of the ballerina's jewelry box in the background. It is a story that sheds hope beyond death, so it is a very authentic and brave story. I also found the drawings nice, as well as the blue tones used. Good work and best regards :)

    Wow, the ending was great! It is clear what you want to convey, and after seeing what happens on Act 3, there are many lessons to take from this. Everything in the story is realistically important, so talking about the performance itself of the video, Act 3 was truthful to what was done on Act 1 and 2, particularly with the pace of your voice and use of colors. And speaking about information, the fact that the friend was an angel made sense to why she only met the friend at the hospital. Only as a comment, the last scene can take a few seconds to be fully sure it is showing the mother because we didn't see her with the hair not tied before. And just to give you a reaction, as a viewer, I wanted to see just a little bit the main character dancing while in the afterlife. It could be shown before the final scene, for example. I hope that the whole process of making the short had many positive things for you, because I could feel very well (specially through your voice) that this story means a lot to you, and you had to keep revisiting this sadness through quite a bit of time while doing it I imagine, so I hope there were many positive things. Thanks for showing this! Let's see what else will you create in the future! :)
