About This Movie

The atmosphere is palpable, capturing the essence of a life steeped in hardship, with the father's alcoholism casting a long shadow over their relationship. There's a rawness to the performances that really pulls you in—each glance and gesture speaks volumes. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, allowing you to sit in the discomfort of their reality. Practical effects aren't flashy here but serve a purpose, grounding the story. It’s a film that lingers, forcing you to reflect on familial ties and the burdens of poverty, all without any frills.
