interesting how it just gives you actions to interpret. I thought he was trans for most of it.

The best you can do with a 15-minute film is to create a thought-shape, something that lasts in the viewer's mind, lay the proper groundwork for as deep an emotional payoff as you can muster in your runtime. And this one absolutely works.
The plot is simple, but the way it gets there, the framing (the main character's niqab is its own character, fully separate from the human being inside it), the pace, the payoff, all are suffused with a gorgeous mood. Well worth your time.
