A Better Place is a wonderful drama that you can only watch on Cineshort. Our protagonist Henry has been contacted by an oil company. They are offering a very high price for the house where his family lives and their fruit orchards. Henry explains this situation to his family and shows them the agreement text. His family strongly opposes it and explains to Henry what the nest they built and the fruit orchards they worked hard on mean to them. Henry explains what this agreement means for him. The subsequent developments are in the film. Let's see how the family and Henry will overcome this situation. As people age, rather than the excitement and mobility that youth provides, they tend to protect what they have. The fear of having something you've worked on for years taken away from you and never being able to reach it again is more prominent. The young person, on the other hand, is worried about the future and wants to make a good start in life. Both sides are so right. The film is one of the best dramas I've watched in a long time and I was really impressed. I definitely recommend the film to all of you. Enjoy watching.
