Honestly when I first read the premise I thought to myself this would be full of pseudointellectual talks and over the top drama and I was almost right. The idea of breaking up simply because of being late for 45 minutes seems ridiculously unreasonable but wait till you hear those explanations. The character of Bruno is too wooden and non-emotional for me to take his acting seriously; maybe he was supposed to be presented this way but I just couldn't buy it, and most of his lines either. The two other actors on the other hand were marvellous and played their hearts out in stark comparison to this Bruno guy. Overall I feel like this short feature brings us to thinking that it's better sooner rather than later to realize what's bothering you, get to the bottom of the problem and solve it the best you can even though it might hurt in the end; to decide who is the person you love the most - your partner or yourself. All we have to do is just say what we need to say to dot every i and cross every t - and the rest will follow. In a word, it's a nice half hour spent, not totally wasted but nothing gained also.
