Children Are Not Afraid of Death, Children Are Afraid of Ghosts

About This Movie

This documentary-drama hybrid really dives into the unsettling atmosphere of grief and loss. The filmmaker's attempts to penetrate the mountain village where the tragedy unfolded create a tension that feels almost palpable. It's like you're walking on a razor's edge, with the locals' silence echoing the sorrow of the past. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to sit with the weight of the stories being told. Themes of childhood innocence and the haunting nature of unresolved trauma are woven throughout, making you ponder long after it ends. What’s distinctive here is the rawness; there’s nothing overly polished, just a stark confrontation with the reality of death and the ghosts it leaves behind.
