About This Movie

The film's pacing lingers, allowing us to savor Marsh's internal turmoil as he navigates his feelings for Rivers, portrayed by Roby Attal. The practical effects are subtle yet effective, enhancing the film's raw atmosphere rather than overshadowing the intimate storytelling. There’s a palpable tension between yearning and societal constraints, beautifully mirrored in the performances. It feels like a snapshot of a moment in history, where love and fear intertwine in a delicate dance, leaving a lingering impact long after the credits roll.
