Vibeke Muasya’s direction gives it a grounded feel, balancing action with intimate family drama. The pacing, while at times slow, allows for moments of reflection that deepen the emotional stakes. Performances are raw and genuine, especially from the boy playing Simon, who brings a palpable innocence juxtaposed against the gritty backdrop.
