It was almost the college entrance exam. Students were cramming til night at school. Zi Fan, the president of student union, like every model student, he was working on tests while listening to a strange cassette. On the other hand, Zi Fan's crush, Jie kept sneaking on Zi Fan without letting him notice. When Zi Fan saw Jie left the classroom, he followed his steps to the corridor and accidentally bumped into the candidate for the next president campaign. With the power of the magical cassette, Zi Fan read the broken heart from a victim of domestic violence on this second-grader. The unbearable scream of agony reminded him of how he escape his bullied life by listening to others through the cassette. Zi Fan ran away to the washroom where he recognized as a safe haven. With panic filled in his mind, he met Jie where he used to spent his darkest moments alone. Sensing his fear, Jie held Zi Fan's hands and invited him to listen to his heart...

Story: The Summary in the description pretty much says everything.

A magical casette that, once you play it, the listener get to glimpse the inner thoughts of the people in his immediate vicinity.

The Student Council president happens to have this cassette with him, and he also happens to have a crush on his classmate who seem to repricocate his feelings.

One of the inner voices he heard was one who suffered domestic abuse at the hands of his father. Whose is it? He wondered as he goes searching the halls for his crush.

They meet at the bathroom stall, how convenient, and some lip-locking takes place.

You have to suspend your disbelief a tad bit with this movie, not just for the magical device, but especially seeing that there were no teachers overseeing the college entrance exams and they are free to roam the corridors as they please.

But aside from that, the story is poignant and relatable if anybody ever suffers abuse due to the pressures brought upon you by your own family. Second place isn't as good as first place, according to the victim's parents. That whatever you do is never going to be good enough.

The silver lining is that you're not alone in the world, that someone out there will understand you if you let them.

Acting: Passable.

Music: Nothing worth nothing.

Rewatch Value: Good enough to warrant another run.

The story is so simple and yet so essential. And it's actually not that simple if you read what it's about on MDL. It has almost no dialogue.
In a few minutes, the film told us what the creators had in mind. I evaluate by looking at short films under ten minutes. Very successful.


Příběh je tak jednoduchý a přitom tak zásadní. A vlastně ani tak jednoduchý není, pokud si přečtete na MDL, o čem je. Je téměř bez dialogů.
V pár minutách nám snímek sdělil, co měli tvůrci na srdci. Hodnotím pohledem na krátké filmy do deseti minut. Velmi zdařilé.
