Pulse Quick Notes

From the editor
Why watch it?

A film about inclusion, not pity. Maria ties her friend's unmoving arms to her own with a jump rope, and like that they play football, like that they dance. She pulls him into the middle of the game, not the edge of the class. It promises no miracle: the boy doesn't get better, the world doesn't turn fair. For a little while, life just gets wider beside a child who refused to leave him alone. Eleven minutes, and it tells you about love without a single big line: only small games.

Who may find it heavy?

The ending doesn't sob; it lands quietly, but childhood illness, disability and loss may sit heavy for some. There's almost no dialogue; anyone waiting for 'something to happen' or wanting a fast pace may grow restless.

Best for

For lovers of wordless storytelling; anyone who likes animation that fits a whole film into ten minutes.
