The pacing is deliberate, almost dreamlike, which adds to the mystery of their isolated existence. Each character, from Hidalla to Melusine, feels distinctly crafted and their performances range from haunting to tender, capturing that teenage confusion and longing. The film plays with themes of innocence versus experience, and the practical effects, though sparse, contribute to the dreamlike quality.
