    admirable
    It represents more than a good short horror. Because not about scare or thrill , or about murder but about acceptance and haunted dreams and sisterhood is this special film. And it does its job in brilliant manner, being impressive , seductive and powerful. A film about family and a radical decision for keeping the status and defining the vocation. Short, admirable work.
