CGiii Comment

A two-hander with an arm...

This film is sparse...too sparse for 88 minutes.

The numerous pauses are deafening - the background noise is somewhat intrusive. The pace is ridiculously slow.

Nothing is shown, the story is told through conversations, imaginary and real...so what's the point in making a film (in splendid black and white) if you don't show anything?!?

As entertaining as watching dried paint.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Ida and Karin are a lesbian couple whose relationship is threatened by a long-buried secret: Ida's father sexually abused her as a child, and serious emotional scars remain. Now that it has been revealed, what can these women do to ensure it doesn't destroy them?
