Well shot, creative and artistic. Was promising at first. Unfortunately, the message ended up convoluted; glorifying femicide and sexual abuse of women. The nudity was gratuitous and left one to question the agenda of the storyteller. As the film ended, it lacked the sobriety, respect and gravity this subject matter warranted.
Couldn't help feeling cheated of the time spent watching what could have been a film with a powerful message against predators masked as educators of children.
What draws you in is the beauty of the depiction of the culture - scenery, music, language, customs. What dampens all and lands as a THUD is the storyteller's inability to offer vindication.
