Metaphysical Comfort

“**Short, sharp and striking.

** _Metaphysical Comfort_ is a hauntingly (both literally and metaphorically) beautiful avant-garde short film that exposes the human psyche. It shows us what it means to be human and skilfully expresses the fundamental connection between us that transcends life and death. This film manages to achieve in 3 minutes what many feature films fail to do in 3 hours: it makes you feel.  Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this story will warm your heart. It subtly uncovers precepts inherent to mankind; you will eventually find solace in grief; we are all a community. But most of all, _Metaphysical Comfort_ shows you that you are never alone. In times of sorrow, in times of joy, we are always here for each other. And this is an attribute that can never be stolen, not even by the cruel thief that is Death.  **I’m touched metaphysically by this film and I don’t even have a ghost comforting me.** This short is truly the most impressive directorial debut I can remember in years and without a doubt speaks volumes on Arikatota’s work to come.”
