It had me.

I was thoroughly engaged.

I was all in on getting behind the wheelchair dependent Sterling as our protagonist.

Even though it's only a short, I was still hopeful to see some comeuppance for the outright hateful female classmate of his... hopeful to see a glimmer of what kind of relationship would be teased at the end with the cute and kind schoolgirl... hopeful for some kind of karmic catharsis regarding the relationship between the garbage uncle, Sterling, and the escort.

But... turns out by the end... Sterling was never the protagonist. His sleazy uncle apparently was (since it is his character and only his character that carries any sort of arc).

This short film lost me with those final few minutes. The guy who is terrible to his sister, his nephew, his escort, and what seems to be to most people in general gets rewarded in the end by driving his car into this kid and inheriting his heart to replace his bad one.

Not only that but the escort he was just manhandling, who swore she was done with him, is now about to hop on the uncle's new heart healthy erection in "honor of Sterling"?!

And the uncle even says it with all sincerity that he is about to do this deed "for Sterling": to selflessly bang the woman he prevented Sterling from enjoying for himself and even killing him which insured that.

The actors all did well and the "all five senses" scene was a real highlight, but wow did that ending really kill my enjoyment and any chance of a recommendation.
