Baiano

Exquisitely economical, wonderfully rendered, with a big heart and even bigger soul. Distant in miles, but held close in one another’s hearts, two dear friends stay connected throughout the years, mailing each other arcane, laconic messages scrawled on solitary calendar pages. Like the very best short stories and poetry, compressed like a diamond and equally as brilliant, "Baiano" says more in its fourteen minutes than many features do in two hours. Draws you in immediately, keeps you there, and finishes with a warm satisfaction.
