A very gentle tale about the female side of courtship
18 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A lucid dramatization of a tomboy trying to experiment with her gender ( something crucial in the stormy years of adolescence ). The experiment is cut short by toxic males' hostility against women. The director handles in a very subtle way the social issues depicted and tries to not be overly preachy.

The direction is intersting and effective enough, the photography is good, but what steals the spotlight is the acting. It's very subdued and helps the film to have a gentle touch.

The script is parsimonious ( something very important in short film ) and helps make an atmosphere that aids the film's message.
