About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet, reflective dramas about family and place, especially if Silent Light or Japón worked for you; Not for you if you want clear answers, brisk pacing, or straightforward conflict.
Pros: striking rural setting; thoughtful central contrast; open-ended mood | Cons: very ambiguous; slow-moving story; emotionally distant
