    Kirpianuscus

    portrait of friendship

    After years, the help of best friends of early years becomes real important for a young woman. A radical decision and a delicate option. A moel room and the obvious changes imposed by time.

    A film about old roots and their significances in new context.

    About abortion and about comparation.

    About lives.

    Abortions: UK vs. USA

    My Review: About women travelling to other countries (Ireland to England) for an abortion, seen one year after SCOTUS's Dobbs decision causing women in the USA to do the same between states.

    IMDb says, "Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters."

    Dear IMDb: The current Featured User Review (below*) is 217 characters short of your required minimum. So, how was that accepted while this one isn't?

    *"At the first sigh, a short film about abortion. In essence, only inspired portrait of three women, different but keeping same pain . A delicate art to reflect the truth defines this admirable film. A not comfortable theme, good performances, significant message about wisdom, angry, fear, the perception of the other and the peace with yourself. The result - just profound beautiful."
