CGiii Comment

Huge on atmosphere - massive of creepiness...the caretaker, the stranger.

Holst's debut is a film of charming depth - a remarkable achievement.

The young Martin Dahl Garfalk is stunning as the protagonist - he brings all the emotion and turmoil of a young life to the screen with perfect understated clarity.

The gentle pace nudges towards the conclusion which is the epitome of resolution and still leaves you guessing or wondering or hoping.

A joy. Enjoy.
