The atmosphere is tinged with a sense of longing and introspection, capturing the solitary experience of the only child. Performances are subtle yet powerful, showcasing the emotional weight of the characters' lives. You’ll notice the use of practical effects is minimal, placing emphasis instead on dialogue and visual storytelling.
