Wish 143

About This Movie

So, 'Wish 143' is one of those short films that hits you hard. It's got this raw, poignant vibe, right? You follow David, a teenager with terminal illness, who’s granted a wish, but instead of the usual bucket list items, he wants something quite… personal. The pacing is just right—slow and reflective, letting you soak in the gravity of his situation and the humor of his wish. The performances, especially from the lead, are strikingly honest, navigating that delicate balance between youth and impending loss. It’s all shot with a grounded realism, no flashy effects, just the weight of life and death. Definitely an interesting exploration of desire and mortality that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths.
