One very good must-watch…
‘If Anything Happens I Love You’ is a 12-minute animated short film that captures the grief of parents who lose their child. There isn’t a single word of dialogue. Just music and the sound of you crying. Yes, this film will reduce you to tears. But you must watch it nevertheless.
