Two can play that game

No pun intended - and you can choose which two I am talking about. The short movie does start with a woman and her interaction with her mom. Now that is not exclusive to women/females ... boys/men have the same thing going on with their parents. Where they kind of are pressured into ... I am tempted to say marriage. Now that is traditional thinking - which doesn't even stop with cultures - this is kind of in our DNA I'd say.

So it is not just the parents, but also society. If you are not .. well traditional, people will judge you (mostly) that is. And our main character here ... well she offers a lot of ... "criticism"! Now I don't think she is doing anything wrong, I want to be clear about this. And hopefully society will move that way one day ... until then ... we have to make do with fireworks ... or crackers/cracks ... case solved/cracked? The ending might give you something to think about ... or appease you.
