We Need to Talk (Shorts)<\/h5>\n

10 International Short Films | 87min | OmeU<\/p>\n

Communication is key. On Christmas, there\u2019s always a lot to talk about, especially when you see your family or loved ones so rarely. Toward the end of the year, big news are shared, wishes are expressed and concerns are shared. Misunderstandings seem inevitable. And sometimes, understanding each other doesn\u2019t require words at all.<\/p>\n
