There’s a unique pacing here, almost dreamlike, that keeps you guessing what’s next. The visuals are haunting, often combining evocative found footage with text that adds layers of meaning. It’s not just about the narrative but the feeling it conveys – a sense of longing and uncertainty that resonates.
