Ah, terrific, terrific. Now, that's a very creative, very poignant twist on what first seemed to be a usual long-distance relationship. The young lovers live in two different cities, maybe two different countries. For a stretch, they are enamored with each other and draw on technology to keep themselves close. Then, the mood shifts, turns down, and at first this, too, seemed common and expected. Except she is dying, so she films herself for him in her waning days. Then, in the end, we find out that they had been together all along, that is, through her death. What makes their relationship long-distance is the fact she has gone someplace else and he is still there. Utterly sad, utterly brilliant.
