The film immerses you in these industrial wastelands where the silence feels heavy, almost suffocating. The pacing is slow, but it allows the viewer to really absorb the atmosphere and get a sense of Ivica’s internal struggles at home. The tension builds subtly, making the moments of family drama resonate deeply. The performances, especially from the young lead, are raw and heartfelt, portraying a real sense of innocence against a backdrop of harsh realities.
