A young boy, showing off in front of two pretty young women, harasses an 'ordinary' young woman and, judging by his experience, pays a high price — posing the question of whether beauty should be favoured over kindness and generosity.

The premise wants to be a moral gut-punch about beauty hierarchies, but it lands like an after-school special—too on-the-nose to provoke, too tidy to actually make anyone uncomfortable.
Morra demonstrates technical control in a compact form, and the thematic binary (beauty vs. kindness) echoes a lineage of fables-for-film; the execution feels assured, if somewhat familiar in its moral scaffolding.
In two minutes, the film's real power hinges on a single moment—likely a look, a reaction, a shift in how the camera holds the 'ordinary' woman—that either redeems the setup or collapses it; Morra commits to that choice with the precision a short this small demands.
