Nice story. Very funny and moving at the end. I was rooting for the guy to let the flower go in order to make a connection with the girl...

Excellent short. The simplistic blocking works well to support the wry humor. Keep on truckin'.

So fun! This reminds me of an exhibit hosted by The Globe Theatre in London where they took stills of different body positions to express common "feelings" - you do something similar with your character!
