A film that explores concepts like alienation, lack of communication, the notion of family, parenting, and belonging. It masterfully reveals this estrangement and breakdown in communication with magnificent visuals. Despite its length, it's a thoroughly enjoyable experience in every moment and every scene, thanks to its decor, color palette, costumes, and locations.
