THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
The narrator of this story is a girl named Linda, whom, as a voice-over narrator, tells the audience her thoughts of her own life, as the memories of her hard times play out. The spectators watch on as they take part of her cold nights, drug trips, and a day in her life--feeling piteous and sympathetic towards her. This story is played out as a flashback sort of short film, because Linda tells the spectators of a day in her life, and how it went wrong, but made her happy nonetheless. This film is realistic, because it can happen to anyone, in fact, it has happened to many people. The genre of this film is, well, a short film itself is a genre, but nevertheless, it could be taken as a Documentary-style or Educational film, teaching people about what can really happen to the spectators themselves. It is also a foreign film. The social context of this story shows it was made recently, probably in Europe judging by her accent(but I could be wrong). Linda embodies the universal human trait type of narrator.
THE OPINION(on a side note...)
This is the kind of film that makes people want to say "It's guaranteed to make you cry," but sometimes won't because you never know how people are going to react, or sometimes will, and the person probably did cry. My favorite line in this whole film, which will probably blow you away, is the following:
"It's warm and safe, and I tried and tried. And finally.. I found it, and I was right. It's Sunny and Warm. Like California."
It made me cry, and it makes me want to cry, just thinking about it. This film is absolute genius.
Dazzy, this was SICK!

But seriously, this movie is really really sad. And your analysis shows that- also, I never knew piteous was a word- and I agree that The narrator does embody some universal human qualities, which is what I think makes this video really hit home. This was great.
I cried, too. I just stared at the screen for a minute after it was done. It kind of sucks that I was eating dinner during that whacky, surreal dream thing. Anyway, I think you summed up the important things about the story and addressed some of the questions well. I thought this was a really intense and realistic/surrealistic (dream thing) film. Good choice, Dazzy.
