Nostalgia is a short, feel-good, drama film by Dean Attari. Two best friends, who are kids, play together in a park that they regularly play in and, at the end of their game, they have a falling out, but, when they are adults, their small problems from childhood end up being negligible as they value something great.

​

Synopsis

In a park, located in a quiet neighborhood, two kids that are best friends: Marianne and Shelly, are having fun together. When they choose to play a game that combines hide-and-seek and tag, Marianne tries her hardest to win against Shelly, who almost always wins this game. When Marianne loses the game, she has a falling out with Shelly. What will be the perspective of the two kids when they meet again, as adults, in that same park?
