CGiii Comment

Domestic violence is a mighty subject...and, the perception of such violence is a much more complex issue than a mere 15 minutes can handle. That said, Mr Urch does a decent job in introducing the complexities when it comes to identifying the abused from the abuser...not everything is as obvious as it seems!

There's that scene: rape or not rape? Then, there's that last line, it changes everything. It will leave you thinking...a mighty fine way to end a film.

There's a feature within...screaming to get out. 15 minutes were not enough, a feature could rectify that.

The(ir) Blurb...

When a young man living in a high-rise is disturbed by domestic violence in the flat next door he comes to realise that violence isn’t always on the outside – sometimes it’s with us all along.
