My mother died when I was 22. We had a difficult relationship, so I don't think I'd want her popping into my life every 7 years, but now at age 69, I'd love to see her one last time. I have a lot I want to talk to her about.
I can not find the proper words since I can not classify my relationship with my parents as difficult, nor was I aged 22 at the time of my loss. I was 70 when Mom passed. I'd love to see Mom again to say complimentary things and ask questions, but I think many people have such regrets after the fact. Answers you can not get from her. But maybe stating your thoughts in a journal could be good for you, or interesting to someone else. I was shocked and did not discuss with Dad his final statement to me that I was a disappointment. I can only guess it was lack of riches or never having married.
@@cliffontheroadChildren are never a disappointment. No one is going to validate your selfishness. I’m not saying this in malice. I’m just being honest. You’re old enough to know.
no, i work in a nursing home and residents still come to tears when they remember their mom. Amy missed out on spending much of her life with her mom. But to have her other in her elder years when no one else by her side. Plus the mom got to see the kind of person Amy would grow into and Amy can remember old times and tell her mother many stories. The mom said she wasnt going to leave again. The mom's health would be as fragile as Amy's now and odds are that both would pass soon. It's beautiful...a daughters dream for her mother to see how well she was raised and the mother's dream to have see Amy's whole life.
@@Lucailey It might be beautiful but it was unnatural... And caused a lot of anguish for the daughter when she was younger. Not that her death wouldn't have also. But still.
I agree. They would have been strangers each visit. You don't build a relationship one night every seven years. It's impossible. All the daughter has to hold on to are 4 memories. That's it. How is that worth a bit of time in her old age? She had 70+ years of mental damage, waiting for her mum to appear and experiencing heartbreak and longing whenever her mum disappeared. Worth it for the mother, I guess, but definitely not for the daughter and husband. She could've just stayed there the first time instead. They could've built a relationship together, and she would've given her daughter (and husband) lovely and happy memories that would've lasted the rest of their life. Instead, the mother was selfish and only wanted to do what SHE wanted. Not what her family did.
@ Thank you for your kind words but, you gave me a heart attack when you called residents inmates. Inmates are prisoners. Like in jail....not like in a nursing home. Inmate brings "punishment" to mind for me and I try so hard with the residents I work with. If they feel punished it would break my heart. Im sure it was just a language thing. Thanks for your kindness.
I feel guilty for not missing my grandma who I wasn’t close with pass away while the rest of my family grieved. It always nags at me I miss her but not as much as the rest of my family. I don’t know if I should be ashamed of that..
My Dad died in front of me when I was 16. Only those of us who lost a parent at an early age seem to get this. I noticed a few comments from people here who think it would be better to just have the parent live out what was left of their lives however short then just die. Obviously their parents are still alive. I would give anything to have my Dad back even for brief occasional visits and I would not even care, now that I am 60 that that he was young enough to appear to be my son, and when I'm 90, my grandson. I'd take it however it came. All I have are photographs. I wish I could tell you otherwise but you will not stop missing her. Not when you're 60, not when you're 90. You will always feel cheated out of her presence.
It's very very hard for the daughter to move on and her whole life will be keep waiting and waiting.. i am not sure this is the right way to love your child...
@@Chatterboxtherapists more like the mom is dead already and the daughter gets this impossible opportunity to see her mom again, I'd take a chance like that anyday.
Yes, that looked brutal for the daughter! You would be in a constant state of grieving. There's a reason she acted out her mom's funeral in therapy! But on the other hand I can understand the draw. If my Grandma could visit me once a year, it'd be amazing.
@@da4127 You really wouldn't. Cause she is not dead. Imagine your mom leaving when you are 6 and appearing every 10 years or so, just to leave you again....The emotional baggage you would be burden with and the abandonment issues would be obscene..... Honestly the mother meant well, but it would have been better to just stay and spent her life there or just leave once and for all. And imagine the burden she put on her husband as well - watching the woman you love walk out, to walk back in over and over again.......
So to everybody that's saying she should've stayed well...I lost my father and u wouldn't know how much I'd give to spend one more day with him and so if my dad could visit me every 7 yrs. ....my life would be so much better
Seeing your dad pop in now and then would be no different than an absent father. Notice that her dad never remarried, from what we can see? I think that the family never gets a chance to heal and move forward. I totally get what she is going through, and I would never want to lose a pretty wife like that, but I think that this is really unhealthy for society. I'd say that it is incredibly selfish of her, but very unintentionally selfish. I think of this story as a tragedy. I really enjoy it.
When the daughter becomes a mother herself she immediately hugs her mom because she knows what it feels like having a child and the things her own mother is gping through

Meara Hirsch well she has a daughter that daughter would have been happier and luckier to have her live and occasionally see her then for her to be dead
Wow that was beautiful. As a single mom I don't know if I could of left my kids like that. On one hand you live longer and on the other hand you miss seeing your children grow up. They will remember you but every time you leave it's like you die a little everytime.
She would have been dead in 2 years. So you would have missed them growing up. In this way she didn't miss her child grow. She was able to stretch it out in order to see her grow. Otherwise like I said she would have been dead before her daughter got a chance to really even know her. She was a baby when Mom started.
I cried so hard when the mom wasted precious time (the math amounts to about 4 months) coming to visit her teenage daughter, for her to just ignore her and get in a fight with her husband
More like the daughter was a typical moody teenager and was selfish and told her mother to go away. Until you’re grown and have teenagers, you don’t know what that’s like.
@@sethralavode7948 I think the issue here is that her Dad didn't seem to prep her for her Mom's arrival. I get the "moody teenager" thing, but when she said "What is your problem?" to her mother, I wanted to shout "No, what is YOUR problem?" Having gone through that loss at a somewhat later age than she did, I can tell you that given a few hours to get my mind sorted out you can bet I would have chucked any moodiness to one side. Given that (as far as I can tell) he stopped participating in the visits later on, it seems like Dad wasn't pulling his weight on that one.
Sethra Lavode I mean given that her mom just didn’t say bye when she was 8, and just left, and wasn’t there for most of her teen years, I would be upset too
@@grayanderson5 Are you really defending the mother here? Really? Both the father and the daughter were 100% in the right on this one. The mother was completely selfish and had absolutely zero consideration for how her husband AND her daughter felt. She only cared about herself. Yeah, sure, she got to spend some time with her daughter while she was old, but at what damaging cost?
Many people see their adult children less often than this. The disconcerting thing is to grow old but see your parent continue to be the same age each visit regardless of how much time goes by. But I would take disconcerting than abrupt end. If the technology existed and my Dad had taken advantage of it and visited for a few days every so many years, I would take that and be very happy. I am now 16 years older than my father was when he passed away. It has been 44 years since my father was able to see the man I have become. It's not the child it would hurt. I'd be selfish to ask for it.
maybe it was too late to administer the cure for the mother...or they never did find the cure. for example, in real life, we've been researching a cure for cancer for about 40 years and we still dont have a definitive cure. sure, theres chemo, or we could remove the tumors if they havent spread too far in the cancer patient's body, but there have been times the patient's cancer returns...or theres complications to their health for one reason or another. as of now, the practices used is more like the luck of the draw rather than an actual cure: u do it and pray the cancer doesnt come back. if it doesnt, yay, youre cured and can live out the rest of your days cancer-free; if it does, youll have to go through another few rounds of chemo or go to surgery again to get rid of it...and, as u get older, that becomes more and more risky
Cancer isn't one illness with one cure. It's dozens or more. Also, we've been researching ALS and other diseases for decades without sniffing at a cure.
@@brynstarkiller7419 first, it's "Burzynski." Second, his "treatment" has killed at least six patients due to hypernatremia without showing any proof of effectiveness.
Me too. But, the mom wouldn't be able to stay with her daughter until the end when she was about 80 and no one was there to visit her at the nursing home.
I dont think she had two years left at the point... Going off the fact she made four visits, I'd say each time she went back up it was six months off her two years. Edit: The description actually gave a ratio of one night on earth for every seven years, so judging how much time she had left seems a little more complicated now. Oh well
I also think that would have made sense. Then or during her next visit (based on the description 7 years later). Then she could have helped her daughter out by taking care of the kids for a while and gotten to really know her and the grandkids. Plus normally you wouldn't see your kid as an old person anyway. This wold have been more natural.
I lost my daughter and I often go back to those last days and think over and over again about all the things I could of/ should have done. But in the end, if I could go back and do it again, I would do it the same- just share time and spend all those days memorizing every single spec of her body and smelling all her smells and just trying to give my soul to her so that when we meet again- we will know each other on nearly every level.

This made me feel so many things so incredibly vividly... the pains of parenthood, the loss of childhood, the inability to make love known... truly amazing film
God this film is brilliant. Everything about it takes my breathe away- the cinematography, the writing the acting- all of it. But especially the concept. This made me cry several times in 26 minutes, and left me thinking about it for days afterwards.
In some ways it was beautiful. But it was also selfish and morbid for the mother to stay going and come back to senior daughter. It was selfish to come and go. It's very disruptive in a childs life. Its painful. Like a ghost in and out of your life.
Well it's a difficult question. If your parent's died when you were five, do you think you'd like to see them come back from the dead every few years for the rest of your lfe, or would you chose to have them die when you were 7 instead? It's a tough one
This hit me in the feels. I felt really sad at the end. I am really proud of the people who created this, because usually I don't cry over things, except things that could be happening around the world. Seeing that I can be in that situation made me hit through the heart. :(
This mother devoted the entire remainder of her life to her daughter...without resentment. Her daughter might have resented her during the rough teenage years when we need our mothers the most but, as soon as she had children of her own, she understood the sacrifices a mother makes for her children. Bravo to the everyone responsible for putting this short film together.
I lost my father this last year and found my birth mother after 55 years and know who my birth father is. I had a brother and a sister. Now I have three brothers and two sisters.
The relationship with the mother of my eldest son failed when he was a baby. He grew up with his mother and I moved away for work and remarried having more kids. Initially I would see him 3 or 4 times a year. His relationship with his mother and her partner was also strained and he left home at a young age to successfully forge his life, completely independent of his mother and I. He left the country at age 20 and in the last 10 years I’ve seen him maybe 4 times although we now talk on the phone at least every 2 weeks. The only thing I did right with this kid is make sure he knew I loved him. This story certainly plucked at my heart strings.
I like how everyone’s like she should have done this she should have done that... first of all you never truly know what you would do in that situation but also... it’s not real so calm down
be quiet narc people with empathy placed themselves in her situation and reasoned with the dreams following her daughter keep your low vibrations else where you do not have to comment how others think or what this is and at least they identify with having a soul and yet yours is a dead one we clearly have real human feelings and felt this real or not. you just want attention foh
I think it was to show how even the best of intentions, could be the wrong way to go. If you said no when her daughter asked if it was worth it, you understand. Every parent makes mistakes and it's hard not to be selfish with the ones you love but it hurts them in the end.
This film is amazing It exhibits what no mother would ever experience, seeing their daughter that old. ITS LIKE THE MOM IS THE DAUGHTER AND THE DAUGHTER IS THE MOM NOW I CANT. My heart is fluttering I cried so much I just MY DAY IS RUINED
I'm so glad I finally discovered Omeleto. Every film is so incredibly creative and well acted/written. I'm going to watch every one of them if I live long enough. What a treasure these are! Thank you
She didn't cheat time...she cheated herself out of countless precious moments, by dipping back for a few hours time then wading through oceans of time till the next encounter...
Wow this broke my heart I lost my dad 3 years ago 3rd February I lost my uncle a year after that then my auntie got diagnosed with cancer I just lost my grandmother 3 weeks ago in total in less than 3 years we have lost 18 people who have been so close to me so this really hit my heart left right and centre all I can say over they years of losing people is it gets harder before it gets easier it hasn’t been 3 years yet since I sat and held my fathers hand as he took his last breaths I didn’t think I would lose my father when I was 28yrs old and for my kids not to grow up without any grandfather on either side my kids miss him every single day he died just before my sons birthday and before he took his SATS exams and my son finds it hard to celebrate his own birthday and when he did every single exam before he went in he looked up and said I’m doing this for you grandad he did every exam and came out with all A* I believe my dad was watching over him and I hope he watches over us always it’s my daughters 12th birthday today Christmas Eve and he should be here to celebrate with me and my kids he should be singing happy birthday to my daughter but he’s not all I can say to everyone is cherish your loved ones even if you don’t talk or are having family problems put them aside and just call your loved ones because when you don’t get to have a conversation with them for a long time and you can’t have one last conversation with them before you lose them forever it eats you up inside and destroys you every single day you wish you could turn back the clock and talk to them one last time so PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE TODAY AND TALK TO YOUR LOVED ONES BEFORE ITS TO LATE I hope you all have an amazing Christmas🎄☃️❄️🎄☃️❄️🎄☃️if you celebrate it and a fantastic new year 🎈🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎈🎉and for everybody who shares a birthday with my daughter on Christmas Eve HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Here is my one gripe... most of these short stories get a ton of praise in the comments even when they are garbage and have no plot. This was excellent, was original (for the most part, definitely compared to most movie concepts, as original as movie can be), and actually had a full plot. I just feel like this could have/should have been a move that is a full-length film. But to do that now would be to take away from this. Definitely one of the top 5 Omletos I have seen. Teared up in more than a couple scenes and that is really rare for me. Excellent job!!!
Respect your parents guys you know...they sacrifice anything just for me...for you guys so yeah respect them because they do and did anything just for you
i love this movie, even a day after watching it, it still has my heart. i wish this were a longer theatrical movie because i think it would be one of my favorites.
Did you pay any attention? They made it very clear with the dates. The start of the film the daughter was 3 years old and it was the year 2052. Then the mother visited seven years later in 2059. And so on every seven years. The final scene with the elderly daughter was in 2129, 77 years after the initial departure of the mother. The replaying mirror scene was in 2059. It was not seven years from the time you commented, it was seven years from 2052. Please watch things closely next time.
@@TheLoveliestPain Learn general kindness toward your fellow humans. SpeedSeekerMoto may not have English skills down yet, because maybe he is still learning. My spelling is awful and I would be really upset if someone called me out for a misspelled word
I lost my mum 14 yrs ago, yah it's tough knowing I can't call her anymore but I do look like her. This production reminds me life does end so I must carry on so she can see me grow up from the other side.
"Magnifique!!: Cried like a baby...... Such a remarkable experience.....truly, to see one's own child through to their old age. AND....to be with your mom with both of you in your prime-time youth! Astonishing!
this is the second time I've commented. but I can't stop thinking that the life lessons in most of these movies from Omeleto should be shown to everyone, even our young. I think that learning true life lessons can only make u smarter , more prepared for the real world. we need that badly
I would probably stay in the time that she had kids and live 2 years with them. Most of the parents die when their kids are at that age normally. So it would be 2 years spend really smart in my opinion.
This RU-vid Channel spreads unthinkable stories that could actualy become in reality in the future. I hope you achieve your goal of 1,000,000,000 Million subcribers! This Video was so emotional!!!!!
The actors for the daughter were on point. Its a beautifully story and the science is solid which is always nice. The premise is completely unbelievable but that's not such a bad thing. Thumbs waaaay up for me
To all the people complaining that the mom was being "mean" to her daughter. I lost my dad when I was 10; I would have given anything for the opportunity to see him and hang out every seven years. Now all I have is the memories we were able to make before January 1980.
Just assume that this tech is easy and available. If the company just did cargo runs to other solar-systems back and forth; you have this result. Hell the terminal personal can be the pilots without pay but this service as the reward. Who else would do such a task and leave everyone behind? An 80's anime "Gunbuster" had a similar premise. Traveling at the speed of light to traverse the Galaxy is causes time dilation and the protagonist that joined the military after highschool meets classmate that grew up and had children; adding to the drama.
@@kevinsimon8925 A lot of people would consider a job like that one, if you are lonely, if it means a better way of living than you had, a chance to see and work on space you might otherwise not have, or if it pays a lot and you want or need the money. You can even be lonely, so you don't mind leaving earth, then you to work on space, which is cool and gives you a comfortable life, then you go back to future Earth and have the chance to redo your life with the money you made, all options in one.
The point of space travel was to create a time warp where the woman would hop forward in time in increments of a few years so that she could spend the little time she had a few days of what remained at a time, seeing her daughter grow up incrementally. Had the family gone with her, nothing would have changed from the family's perspective.
Every tear was meaningful and this movie puts your reality now into the possible future. Forcing you really think of what is important and how much you love.
I can understand why the mother left but why did she want to live such an unnaturally long time. I think she was just very selfish and wanted to live forever. She should have stayed when the grandchildren where small. It's a good film! Love this channel
she did try to cheat death, yes, but i dont think she was being selfish at all. she wanted to watch her daughter grow to old age whereas, if she allowed time to take its course, as she said she'd only get to watch her grow up to age 5 before succumbing to the terminal illness. she couldnt be there when her daughter needed her most (maybe something happened in school, boyfriend break-ups, divorce(s), etc), but at the same time was there for her where/when the illness wouldnt have allowed her to be
As far as i can tell i don't think they had any real control about when they came back to earth, or what forward time period. They where stuck in some weird worm-hole time dysfunction.
She could of came every year for a week, think that would be less damaging than every 5 years. (2 years is roughly 110 weeks) Also since this is set in 2100s old people would not exactly be present, since we are already currently working on fixing the factors that cause us age (people who are under 25 today most likely will be benefiting from this in their life time) (it won't stop death people will just die looking young and won't have terrible age related diseases) But overall this is amazing, cheers
Wow. This was truly amazing. Brought me to tears. I don’t have kids and is probably too late for me now but I honestly could not do that. Missing pretty much a whole lifetime of her upbringing. I’d probably regret that. I dunno..
Tears in my eyes because I lost my mother and father in my early 30s. My mom had Cancer and watching it slowly kill her still haunts me. I know I am lucky and I grew up with my mom and dad always in my life and I had them for my childhood but seeing the mother get to be with her daughter during the adult years and then finally come to see her in old age really gets to me. I wish I could have a visit from my mom (and dad) even for a day, an hour, a minute....just enough to hug them and tell them I love them. To ask if I make them proud. The cool thing is that my name is Aimee too.
As a person fortunate enough to grow up in a stable home I can't say I truly understand what it's like to be put to bed by the parent you don't live with only to wake up and have them be gone. What I can say is that it broke my heart to see.
