About This Movie

Kerstin Ström sets a gritty tone right from the start. Sergio, freshly out of prison, is caught in a web that feels both haunting and familiar. The chemistry with his childhood friend feels genuine, yet there's an underlying tension that's hard to shake off. The pacing is deliberate, letting the atmosphere sink in, almost suffocating at times. It dives deep into themes of despair and the struggle for redemption, without any sugarcoating. The performances feel raw, capturing that sense of hopelessness perfectly. You can almost feel the weight of choices hanging in the air. While the direction is somewhat obscure, the film has a distinctive vibe that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
