This film is so simple and short, and yet so deeply touching. Ana truly captures the essence of loneliness and despair using moving pictures. The film resembles Franco-Italian cinema with a spice of Balkan sentiments. It is a character study of a middle aged woman, trapped in a vicious circle of isolation and fear, who in order to break free needs to face her deepest fears.
In a simple, serpentine fashion, the pictures move and blend into each other with sweet, summertime melodies as in a Rohmer film. The absence of dialogue and additional characters add up to the feeling of despair and loneliness.
The film is a beautiful debut film, and an entree into a hopefully fruitful career of the young director! A female voice European cinema desperately needs!
