About This Movie

The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of despair to settle in the viewer’s mind. The atmosphere is heavy, laced with an unspoken tension that permeates Pia's story, from her early drug use to her tumultuous relationships. What stands out is how it doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects – the violence, the loneliness – while also hinting at fleeting moments of hope.
