Woah, this is so affecting every time! I appreciate the gloomy basement, the noise, and the fact it’s a one-shot video – a good choice for this feat. I also appreciate how your mom performs the gesture with such commitment and focus – this is clearly not a joke. The reasons for this angry, violent act toward an object are ambiguous, and this video is stronger with this omission, it brings more tension, and makes it potentially identifiable for viewers. A good work!
