This is a very slow melodrama which never seems to move on, and it never does. They are all stuck in a post accident which they have been able to confront, and whenever someone touches the subject he is told to stop it and shut up. Young David Travers comes home from collage unable to carry on his studies, looking up his roots to try to get to understand what happened ten years ago, of which he has no clear memory although he held the gun. He encounters walls of silence by repressed emotions, as everyone feels guilty about nothing. A young girl, Amanda, (Gabrielle Kalomiris) also feels the repression of unreleased feelings and has problems with her mother, who also never has got over the loss of her only son by that accident ten years ago. There are heavy charges here, and someone has to suffer for it, and in the end it's the wrong person, giving new occasions for chains of guilt complexes. It is beautifully done, the actors are all perfect, but the pace does hardly move at all until in the last act.
