I'd recommend giving it another watch if it's been a few years, it's not that bad we just like making fun of it, nothing gross or inappropriate happens. She doesn't "groom him" at all, he misreads her kindness as affection because he not as mature as he thinks, she pushes back against his adolescent crush and they connect on a more real and human level than that. She's also the teacher you see at the start of your name too, which is a nice little connection to see she's doing OK a few years later.

Its actually one of my favourite shorter films (it's only 45 minutes), I first saw it in 2013 and thought it was good but a bit odd in subject matter, but I'm 34 now and understand it on a different level, that is, sometimes you find your strongest emotional support in the people you'd least expect, and because of that I connected with it on a really deep level..

Still got the feet though, but these days I'm into that I guess.
