It's pitch perfect in its look at struggling to move on, and looking for some kind of light in the darkness.

In this film you can feel the pain of the parents, and how they address such a delicate subject as school shootings. In short, a very good film, sincerely Facundo.

Sensitively powerful! If Anything Happens I Love You is an animated short that sensitively and silently portrays a couple's grief after a profound loss. With minimalist art and no dialogue, the film moves viewers as it explores love, memory, and healing.
