REVIEWS:

An interesting psychological film with elements of mysticism. It touches on the eternally relevant topic of the careless psychological influence teachers can have on their students “for good purposes.” At the same time, the plot seemed a bit simplified and one-sided to me. I wanted to see the other side revealed — why do some teachers become such “soulless monsters”? Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

There’s something so painful about the way she tries to explain herself, and no one really listens.

Roberto Borio

That actress gave me chills. Just her eyes alone tell a full story. She nailed it.

Luisa Diaz Perez

I wanted to scream at the screen. Like dude, calm down! But then again… he’s hurting too.

Rosa Alvarez Garcia

It’s like the whole film takes place inside someone’s panic attack. Intense and claustrophobic.

Nikolaus Koehler

Visually stunning and emotionally raw. Short, sharp and impossible to forget.
