This one has a very Before Sunrise vibe to it. A couple that share a brief moment together spent talking ideologies, plans, wishes regrets and whatever else about their life. And then they have to let it all go.

It's a conversation film, dialogue driven and doesn't try to be that visually stimulating. A very indie low budget affair with a few nice moments and a lot of sections I didn't care for at all.

But I get that annoying dilemma of spending time with someone you can see yourself in a serious long term relationship with only to discover they are just about to leave the country for and extended period of time. That's happened to me twice now and it sucks.

It paints a very honest picture of these characters and I suppose the success of the film will depend largely on how you connect to them. The do in fact do the running to the airport cliche, although it's a train station here but manages to never feel false or unrealistic.

It's a sweet little film with modest intentions and a few rough patches where it lost me but overall enjoyed alright.
