This is the first movie we saw during Sofia International Film Fest 2023. The topic is social and important, but poorly executed. I do not know whose daughter the Director is, neither why the movie is in the selection. The attempt to save money from proper sound, thinking that half a silent movie, half a music video may pass as a genius creative idea, backfires. Youth is no excuse for half-done work, even when it comes to arts.

The characters' arcs lead nowhere and there is no development or resolutions by the end of the movie.

It is nice to pay critics so they can write a statement for something so mediocre. But it is even more nice if the critics have seen the movie themselves before writing anything. I am genuinely surprised that this movie has win awards.
