For me, my first impression of this short film is pretty funny and interesting. The story is quite normal, we might see this kind of film quite often. the script is good and well structure, as we can see it starts with the guy practicing how to say hi to the girl, then it turns to the man’s home, there are a lot of toilet paper. This kind of structure make me curious about what’s going on and what will happen next. it is a very attractive way to start a film. Some of the shots which show us the man’s house, such as “wash your dish”, I think those scenes are pretty goos, cause then the camera goes to the toilet paper which are obviously too much for this room. These shots compare the normal and abnormal in room, give us a question, what happen to this man? I like the end, after the girl goes into the guy’s home, the story end. This also create a feeling that there are something going to happen.

Then the story starts to tell us the reason but there are few shots that looks a bit unnatural, mainly when the two characters are talking to each other, I am not sure whether is because the girl is not very experience or the camera angle is weird. I just not feel really comfortable with the scene when they talk in the supermarket.
