"When you find me" film review

This demonstrates a backstory of the film, at a location in the afterlife. The tree could be an allusion to either the 'world tree' or the tree that grew the apples of eden in paradise. It is apparent this is the afterlife because of the white color white, the color of purity. It seems to be a very pensive location as there does not seem to be anyone there, and there seems to be no end to the beautiful landscape.

This demonstrates a discovery for the Lizel of her mothers death, not necessarily journey to heaven. This creates a moment of a loss of innocence for the young protagonist. However, this revelation does not change her mindset and she continues on her journey to find her mother and go say goodbye. She is shown to be a strong dynamic character that acts older than she is and is an archetypal curious young child figure.

Character of Lizel's older sister shows her feelings of sadness and depression as she was unable to say goodbye to her mother, who died. She begins to feel anger and resentment and blames her little sister for preventing her from being able to say goodbye to her mother. Additionally, Lizel's older sister is unsure what to do, as her facial expression and body language show that she was very close to her mother and feels lost without her.

The goal is shown here as traveling in a spaceship to try and discover heaven. The exact location is not known, but it is surprising to find Lizel's mother there, welcoming and beckoning her to go and find her. Trying to contact the mother becomes the main goal of Lizel.





This scene has a depressing mood, as it shows the cemetery where the sisters' mother is buried. Lizel's sister is crying, while Lizel is determined to find her mother. The tombstones give a solemn mood, and the darkness gives an ominous mood that adds to an overall tone of depression.

This scene demonstrates the unknown as the sister had found her 'spaceship' but didn't know how to work it. She feels she needs to figure how to operate this machine so that she can find her mother and talk to her one final time. As an audience, we do not know what to expect and are unsure if she will be able to pilot this vehicle.


This scene explains the relationship between Lizel and her sister, showing how much it has diminished since their mom had died. They don't seem to talk very much and seem to be very disconnected from each other. Lizel's sister appears to be in disarray and still doesn't quite have her life in order, and she still seems to be mad at Lizel for preventing her from being able to say goodbye to her mom.

This shows the initial setting of the short film, but this setting shows Lizel laying in the grass, in the off white color. This setting seems to replicate the holiness and undisturbed nature of heaven. This setting is important because this is where Lizel is able to see her mom again, and give her a final goodbye.

 This scene shows the theme of time. Time is shown as we can see the sun is just rising, showing that Lizel's sister and father had been searching for her all night. This time is important because morning is seen as a time of new beginnings, and a brighter future ahead. In this case, Lizel goes on to live a happy life, but Lizel's sister emerges less than happy as she is down on her luck, and is stuck in the shadows of this shot. Additionally, time is important because it demonstrates the love and care her family had for her even when she ran away.

This scene shows an obstacle that stood in the way of Lizel. She had to get over this physical barrier of the fence, which she needed the help of her sister to do. This is important because it showed that if the sisters work together, they can get through a lot and push through hardships that they face. In addition, going over the fence allowed Lizel to cross into an area of danger and new discovery.
