Young Lilly is going to get her ears pierced. A quarrel between her parents overwhelms the situation and directs it differently.
Sinekatalog’s take
A short about a girl getting her ears pierced when a quarrel between her parents hijacks the moment. Anahita Ghazvinizadeh captures a child's small, sharp observation of adult conflict. A compact, perceptive pick.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
