This isn't a room, its his heart , his life... How he let her enter in it, stays happy and things get messy and later on moves on and cleans all those to welcome new changes... Lovely representation

Moral of the story: *Your room defines your relationship* Keep it clean.

"I'd rather to be alone than to be in bad company."

I wanted to share these words of wisdom I heard from one of my teachers “A persons opinion on an object doesn’t define the object but defines the person”

guys this is deep as hell, the room that gradually gets messier and messier overtime is a metaphor of their relationship.

Damn this is deep, the messy room symbolizes the relationship the messier and messier it becomes. Wow this literally makes me want to cry it's so sad.

This is the second time I came to this film after ending a long-term relationship in the last 8 years. It made me feel warm that love is a cycle, like many others in your life. Hope to watch it again someday and think "Well, my cycle this time will not end like this film".

Something I learnt in my relationship is that you must not get lost in the relationship you must be in it and also be aware of your surroundings. Love isn't all about sex and fun I believe its deeper than that it about finding someone you who makes you a better person and helps you grow and upgrade your life

Moral of the story: Clean your room every day

the amount of crime in this neighborhood

I feel so terrible for all the people who have experienced this so many times they stopped believing in love, I promise there is true love, it's just hard to find, and unfortunately so many people wont. Thankfully I have💕

this is EXACTLY why im sacred to fall in love and let my guard down for someone. happy endings aren’t promised, but most of the time losing yourself is. if love can make you so unhappy in the end, wth?

My favourite part was when he finally cleaned his room.

Everyone is talking about their relationship and i'm like "how high is the flipping roof in his room"😂

his room is relatively clean before she comes. when she does come she has a bit of a mess but not too much. through all of their happy times a very small mess will appear but then it will get cleaned up. she is actually the one cleaning/making the bed (right after halloween) this represents small mishaps that are easily picked up/brushed off by her. you only see the big mess start to appear when he kicks the toy and their relationship starts to deteriorate. only from then on it gets progressively worse and worse. this is because she is becoming more and more depressed and unhappy in the relationship. she no longer is trying to fix the relationship, therefore she is no longer trying to pick up her mess. when you’re in a bad state of mind most of the time so is your room. you have no motivation to clean. it’s a terrible cycle to get into. this becomes apparent when she finally leaves. she takes all of her stuff but you can see there is still some mess on her side despite her taking all her stuff, meaning that some of that was actually HIS mess that was unnoticed, appearing as hers. he got rid of some of his unhappiness by putting it on her. (putting his mess on her side) he himself become messy when he becomes unhappy and depressed. you realize this is what she was going through the whole time her mess was growing bigger and bigger. the toy is a representation of their love, which “comes in peace” it is not their love for one another but their actions which tear them apart. it could be the effort is not longer being put into the relationship. again it’s not the mess which makes them unhappy. the mess starts to appear when they’re already unhappy, whatever reason it may have been. only later when the mess because very bad does it cause them to fight. he kicks the toy it lands in the heart shaped pail. which is used to fix the leaking roof representing the breaking point of their relationship. a pail cannot fix a leaking roof, it must be properly fixed in order for it to not leak again. they choose to get a black circle pail once again instead of properly fixing the roof. no longer their love, like the heart shaped pail. but now a cold basic black pail. the christmas lights she puts up are her trying to make the room appear nicer despite all the mess. it’s her not wanting to try fix the relationship but just bury the problems. when the toy comes back through the window i do believe that that is her who throws it back considering the toy had been missing for quite some time before it returns. not only that but he’s wearing the shirt she got him for his birthday when it reappears. i think she picks it up at some point and holds onto it. it represents their love so that is her holding onto their love. he also only takes down a few photos from his wall but not all of them, the ones he does take down, if you pay attention they are the ones they take together, but he does not throw away but puts them in the nightstand meaning he still has feelings for her. i think her throwing it back was kind of saying, “now you understand why i got so messy, i was unhappy how you are now” and him cleaning is getting ready to start again. i do believe that it is her, but he wants his room to appear as he’s been fine and moved on and that’s why he clearly places the magazines on his nightstand where she could see them. to begin they were always under his bed hidden away even before she came over. lastly the biggest message is to change and grow. there is clearly a huge sign that reads “CHANGE” in his room. the last thing he changes is the bedspread where all their memories were made. it’s time for new ones to be made and for them to change bad habits, together for themselves and for each other.

“Never throw away your naughty magazines when you start a relationahip. You may need them back after breaking up” - Sun Tzu

Even when his room was messy, it still managed to have an aesthetic to it

Good ending. It shows that people come and go in the chapters of our lives.

Being alone is much better than being with someone who makes your life bitter ....

7:01 He put the magazines back in the end but kept their pictures on the wall.

Basically, this is what happens when you don't clean your room.

lesson learned: LOVE IS MESSY.

I love reading comments on short films because... 1. I love knowing other people's point of view.😍 I mean how beautiful,deep and different our thoughts are!!!🙂 2. My stupid ass mind doesn't have that deep thinking like others😅 ✌🏻

Jesus Christ. I felt like I was watching my ex and I from a third person perspective. So accurate in depicting what a relationship looks like in the beginning to how it just can tragically gradually become lifeless.

that's why my mum asked me to keep my room clean...

I should be studying for finals right now...

The room defined his relationship. It would have worked betteer if they both decided to clean the room and solve their problems together with love and affection...

I truly didn't want to cry this morning....but here we are. This is honestly the purest representation of love. The beautiful, messy, and tragic bond of love. 🥺

The camera makes me feel like a stalker. I AM SPIDERMAN

My question is... Who’s ceiling is that high? 😂

Guys finally i want to share y'all something.... I saw this video 5 years back & it touched me deeply from situation i was going through & everytime whenever i feel like not enough in the relationships i always search this video & used to see . Finally I've ended my 3 year of serious relationship & now I'm here. This video is very close to my heart ❤️ .

I just watched this video yesterday and shared this with my girlfriend and told her how much I love her and today she broke up with me , she found someone better than me

I just realized my room is messy as I’m watching this...😂

Lesson of the story: *I COME IN PEACE*

I've come to this video for comfort because it's been almost 2 years since my long term relationship ended and I still can't seem to find my own ending, my own cylce. I appreciate this wonderful piece of art because it gives me hope.

I like how while there’s not much dialogue there is still a lot of storytelling and characterization. A cool feet for such a short amount of time!

My anxiety was through the roof when the room was all clustered and it felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders when he cleaned it

People have no patience in this generation, being in love is an amazing thing and forgiving and putting up with the mistakes of the person you love is the real love and adds more meaning to everything and I know that there are many old people who wrote about the death of their loved ones crying or sleeping next to the grave of the person they loved and wishing for death so they can be together. The love many young people understand now days is pleasure and spending good time and that's all.

if my dad saw this video he would say, "See this is why you need to clean your room; it defines your whole life!" haha I can hear him now. great video! I loved how you gave us hope that maybe they would get back together but they didn't. that was simply well done!

God's view!

I know that when u fall in love u loose ur mind and u can't think properly and u don't care about anything else but ur love.I was in love and got heart broken.I stayed depressed for 6 months then finally I woke up and moved on.The first thing I changed in my life was my bedroom.Then I deleted alot of people in my life.I selected only a few.My attitude changed.My personality grew stronger.Now I enjoy being alone more.I just love my ownself company.Love is something very and very beautiful. But I advise everyone to fall in love when they get more mature and become more wiser . That's what I learnt.

The moral of the story is.......... to keep your room clean. Keep your life clean. To have a tidy up often of the things that may be piling on top of you and others. The cleaner your head the happier you will be. That could be letting go of bad things that happened yesterday and the years before and dropping your worries and frustrations that don't serve you purpose anymore. This may not be the reason of the video and I can think of other reasons but that was what I took from it. Everyone sees things differently just thought I would share what I saw.

The whole way though I was like “Bro, throw that mag away”

the fact that the poster stayed in the same position is truly admirable!!

I waited for the whole movie for her to find the magazines

This has got to be my 10th time watching this. What I love about this film is the detail and the validity. Each time I watch it, I notice something different. You can literally see and feel them growing apart and even though it's sad, you feel okay at the end. Life goes on. What a work of art. So well done.

It was really cool to watch, so interesting to get other “POV”, the little things like the room representing the relationship and the little I come in peace guy were great

Every time I watch this it inspires me to clean my room. Thank you!

He obviously cared more about the relationship than she did. Her stuff kept spilling onto his side, she was spending all her time at his place...not only taking up space but creating a huge mess which can only be reflected in her life outside of him and not much of one since her codependent behavior was apparent. She demanded help from him pertaining to things she should’ve been takin care of on her own. It was too much for him, but he continued to try. Him sitting on the edge of the bed represented his need to get out of the situation and she had the opportunity to quit wallowing in her self pity by reaching out at that moment. And then she left only to pick up her stuff and leave him in a mess they both created. It’s not to say it was entirely her fault, just that some people’s side of the situation is a lot messier than the others.

lesson I've learned by this vid: everything is so sweet at the beginning but suddenly can go difficult and bitter. you have to choose what kind of partner you want to be. if you're going to fight and trying to change the things that you know you're doing wrong or you just don't give shit and keep your side messy.

thus was the best 7 minutes of my life, love your work , it is a work of art

This is the sweetest short film I have ever watched.

At least she never found his porn magazines

I think the messy room represents the love. How they start off strong [ The room being clean ] and then how everything unfolds [ room being messy] Love is a cherishable thing and everyone should know it. You shouldn't treat it as a piece of garbage that you throw on the floor. It's much more than that.

I really enjoyed this short film. I loved the camera angle in the film. It gave us this birds eye view and allowed us to observe everything that is going on in it. I loved how the story was told with little dialogue. This is nicely made short. Really enjoyed it

the comment section is just simply amazing, so many interpretations, the meaning behind literally amazing 🙇‍♀️

his room is look better withour her. However his days are more colorful with her

Moral of the story~ it's important to clean your room

This is an absolute masterpiece.

I always come back to this short film and it never disappoints !

Surprisingly they didn't change their bedsheets..

The room is slightly messy in the beginning, he got out of a relationship a little while ago. When he is cleaning up he puts the past behind him and starts out fresh with no problems. Little by little the room gets messier, these being problems, they clean, they fix their problems. But it eventually gets too much, the room gets extremely messy, until they can't handle each other anymore. Then they break it off. He sits in their past, their old problems, until he cleans his rooms, leaving him with a fresh mind.

This never gets old, I've been watching for last four years 🤩🤩🥰

This made me sad 7 years ago when I was 14 and it still does

I am coming back to this video about nine months later saying that this is, and will probably always be my favourite short film. Just cried my eyes out through the whole thing, and videos struggle to bring me such raw emotion like yours does. Thank you so much for creating this; never stop.

This story is heartbreaking. I just don't like the thought of relationships coming to an end. A good short though.

One of the best things I have seem on this platform. Just simple story telling. Kudos to the team.

this will always be my favorite short film 🥺

I should be doing my homework rn 😂

Every dirt in there room its like a problems/struggles they dont giving an attention to clean to solve 😢😭

I watched this video and was inspired to say this. I usually don’t comment on many things but I want to share something very important: MAINTAIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!! Fairytales are beautiful and romance is great.. but even love needs to be cared for. Do something for your partner every. Single. Day. It doesn’t have to be huge. It could be a kiss or an “I love you.” Maintain your relationship after marriage as well. It’s like a backyard. You need to mow it often to keep it nice. If you let it go for too long, it’ll be extremely hard to mow later. Weird analogy, but you get the point. If you have an argument, remember that it isn’t the end of the world. It’s healthy for couples to argue and advance their relationship this way. It intensifies your love to go through hardships together. Try to understand your partner, try to compromise on things... MAKE SURE you go to sleep content with each other. NEVER go to sleep angry. Always sleep in the same bed (if you’re married). One thing that helps is doing something that boosts dopamine after fighting... After an exhausting argument, we dance together. It calms us both down. After, we find arguments way easier to navigate. Just remember that you love this human. In a marital setting, remember why you married this person. This is the one you chose to love and protect your whole life. Remember that you made this person a forever promise! Fall in love together every day. Recognize the good more than the bad. When you recognize the bad, work hard to fix it together! Work hard to improve yourself over improving them. Go on weekly dates, they can even be little like watching a movie together at home. Overall, just love each other and work hard to maintain your relationship. It’s so so worth it. I promise you. I wish you all the best and God bless! ❤️

This is so nostalgic and pure. This is ART.

I'm so glad I watched this. it makes me happy that I'm not in a relationship hahah

oh thank god he finally cleaned up

This is why I love short films that if you’re creative enough you can present whole film use one frame 🎉 Congrats🎉

so beautiful still watching nov.2019❤

Thanks all for your kind word!! :)

I was more sad for the stuffed alien the entire time ;(

Damn, rewatching this several years later by chance and having experienced an heartbreak recently it just hits deeply different

BRO! DUDE! This is AMAZING!

This goes to show that a good relationship will just be in the beginning. people nowadays doesnt know how to compromise in the relationship...theyre just there for happy times not in the bad times.

How high is that damm. roof

Wow! Truly amazing work of art this is.... The real moral of the story: never stop trying.

Editing,lighting,camera angle and sounds so good.......vera level......🥰🥰🥰🥰i love it......

there’s a spider.... throws object *meeeeeee*

Its really me and my first ex when i was 15

This is a work of art. A true masterpiece

I love how the room just gets messier and messier 😂

Easily one of the BEST short films I've seen! This angle is so creative and there's just so much meaning behind it. So brilliant yet simple. Absolutely beautiful job!

I'm so glad that my boyfriend and I are really doing our best to make our relationship a comfortable space for both of us. And trust me, it's difficult, because I'm a really troubled person. I'm so hopeful about us lately, but I always have this fear in the back of my mind that maybe all this efforts are just not enough to make us work.

this is a terrific concept. way to make a low budget, high quality short film! This helps give me some ideas for my first motion picture :)

I am amazed by how high the ceiling of this room is.

wow. the symbolism. the metaphors. i can name THOUSANDS. it’s established that his side of the room is on the left. hers is on the right. throughout the video, he keeps his side of the room relatively clean, whereas hers gradually becomes an entire mess. as the relationship progresses, they start to argue over things they can’t find because of the mess. which ties to the fact that he’s trying his best in the relationship by keeping things orderly, but she doesn’t seem to care and throws her stuff wherever she pleases. it’s making the statement that men can be the victim in relationships too! and it’s not always seen that way. FURTHERMORE, did y’all see the pails????? or was that just me?? at first the heart shaped one is put on his side of the room to catch the rain leaking through the ceiling. his heart starts taking in the emotional trauma from the relationship, whereas it’s not even affecting her side of the room! and THEN. oh BOY. the black circular pail? there’s too much rain for his heart to handle, and it turns into his emotions being expressed through a black. hole. (possibly depression?) there’s also the observation that many people have already made where his room becomes more colorful but messy when he meets her, and is a lot neater but duller in color without her. sometimes relationships feel euphoric but leave a person devastated in the end. momentary happiness at the cost of mental health and order in life is not worth it! oh gosh i could go on but that’s it from me. i havent seen a video like this that interested and inspired me this much! wow!

This short film actually has a lot of meaning to it if you understand it. It's also one of my personal favorite, I take electronic media production in my college and definitely want to do a remake of this though I'll give credit! Let's all take our time to appreciate how perfectly edited this video is, from the sound production, to the transitions, perfect timing and the wonderful work of art these actors put out for the video. It's hard to manage this all in one video. It takes one whole team to do this. From writers, to directors, to producers, to filmmakers, to music editors, video editors, actors and please do forgive me if I have left out any important talents. I have a ton of respect for the whole team, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make this happen. Absolutely astounding. Amazed by the response this video has got. Though, if I were Jack Tew, I wouldn't be surprised about the response, because it's such a good short film that took probably a few months to make. Best one I've encountered so far. Much love x

Was hoping for something sweet and cute, but found something deep and filled with meaning. Good job.

Watching this video gave me a glimpse of a lot of memories. Maybe a little sad feeling of "I miss this". Our routine, the breakfast that I never like to eat, but when was make by her was aways different. I see my history in that video, maybe because we in the most of time have a great moments in an room like that, even the Little light in the wall out of Christmas time. Watching movies, novels, discussing plans for the weekend, our lifes... And then all goes away.

If your life is a mess don't expect someone to come and clean it up. You must clean up your own mess, and when your life is a comfortable room to stay then you can invite someone to come in. That's how healthy relationships and real love start.

Bruh this almost had me tearing up. I used to turn my nose up at romance stuff until I got into my first relationship. In high school, I didn’t care about boys, I was happy, I didn’t care about being single. All of my friends and girls around me were desperate for boyfriends but i really didn’t care. Then I graduated and my first boyfriend came into my life and boy was I nervous. We’re both pretty mature for me being 18 and him being 20. We’ll be together a year in July. I didn’t think I’d ever get in a relationship but I am so in love with him and he’s in love with me even more if that’s possible. Watching this reminds me of all the times we spend in his bed. But we are in a super healthy relationship but still, having a significant other makes me realize how people can fall out of love and it scares the shit out of me because he’s my best friend and my lover. A life without him would be unbelievably dull. I hope we stay together for a long time. I don’t want anybody else. Great video.

Well done! A story that's easy to relate to and brings back memories of all the same bitter and sweet moments. Hurrah!

LOVE THIS! AMAZING WORK!
