    I just watched this short film on a DVD of other Dutch shorts, and I came hear to read more about the project.

    Unlike the first reviewer, I felt the film was compelling from beginning to end. It's a very subtle film, and its realism, its reserve, and its melancholic tone really worked for me.

    Certainly, this film presents the viewer with an atypical cinematic experience. To be sure, there is not much explained. But it certainly got me to think and wonder and reflect, and this is a real achievement. To me this is a bold film, and I respect the filmmaker for not making it immediately more accessible.
