About This Movie

Atmospherically, it captures the struggles and innocence of youth against a backdrop that hints at deeper societal issues. Performances are raw and genuine, which lends a kind of authenticity to their emotional journey. It’s a film that lingers, leaving you with more questions than answers. Very distinctive in its approach to such heavy themes.
