In a moment is nice short film though I find the basketball scene kinda cliche with stumbling and falling and almost about to kiss. I agree that the song is great and very romantic. On the other hand I really loved the short film “Him”. It’s cute and simple. I like it.

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane.

After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward.
